Applications and Features:
APPLICATION
Southwire Type TFN/TFFN or MTW or AWM may be used as fixture wire, machine tool wiring, or appliance wiring material as specified in the National Electrical Code® and other applicable codes and standards. Voltage for all applications is 600 volts. Allowable temperatures are as follows:
- TFN/TFFN- Dry locations not to exceed 90°C
- AWM- When rated as appliance wiring material in dry locations, conductor temperatures not to exceed 105°C
- MTW- Wet locations or when exposed to oil at temperatures not to exceed 60°C or dry locations not to exceed 90°C (with ampacity limited to that for 75°C conductor temperature per NFPA 79)
FEATURES
- Gasoline and Oil Resistant II
- MTW- Stranded Constructions Only
- RoHS Compliant
