Thermoplastic Equipment Wire or TEW wire:
1. TEW wiring applications
- Some of these applications include appliances, switchboards, electronic circuits, control cabinets, and the wiring of machine tools.
2. TEW wire is available in 2 different constructions
- Bare Copper TEW: Originally TEW came in only bare copper, which is the popular choice when the price is the determining factor.
- Tinned Copper TEW: Tinned copper was adapted for customers who require a longer shelf life because a tin-dipped conductor stops long-term rusting and deterioration.
Insulation: The insulation consists of PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride), which is known for its resistance against moisture, chemicals, abrasion, acids, alkalis, and grease.
Temperature Rating: -25ºC to +105ºC
Colours Available:
TEW wire is a commonly used product that has a dual UL rating, which means a specific UL designates each gauge size. This is often done to help electrical personnel (Engineers, electricians, etc..) when identifying the exact product they need.
