Temperature is a fundamental concept to understand. If something's too hot, it melts or catches fire, and if something's too cold, it freezes or breaks. This is true for everything from metals, food, clothing, and even liquids. This article will go over why temperature is a fundamental consideration for all electrical applications, what happens to wire and cable in hot and cold environments, and the different temperature ratings for the most popular wiring materials.

Wire and cable are available in a wide range of diverse constructions, each of which provides different characteristics for the desired application. These can range from waterproofing, various levels of flexibility, resistance to harmful chemicals and materials, and even resistance against different temperature levels. The specific construction we'll be breaking down is the MGT construction, which also has the highest temperature rating that is readily available.
