- solid vs stranded THHN | Information by Electrical Professionals for . . .
We pulled stranded THHN for all of our branch circuits ran in conduit The only time we would use solid THHN was in control panels I recently moved out to Montana and it seems like everyone uses solid wire I'm referring to 20A and 15A circuits pulled through conduit
- Solid or Stranded #10 2 THHN THWN-2 for underground 120v branch ckt
The grounding electrode conductor material in the NEC says the conductor shall be solid or stranded, insulated, covered, or bare We're just looking to avoid anything dumb that's being overlooked using stranded 10 2 THWN THWN-2 plus a stranded #10 THHN THWN-2 equipment grounding conductor
- When would I use stranded over solid in conduit?
Our "company policy" is #12 THHN stranded is OK, #10 and up is solid We get into a lot of big buildings so "home runs" tend to be long so #10 is used due to voltage drop This all goes out the window if the engineer specifies otherwise

When running 12 AWG THHN wires through 1 2 conduit, would it be better to use stranded wire instead of solid? The wires will not terminate directly on any devices, they just make up the runs from the panel to various junction boxes where the wiring method then changes to NM
- 10-AWG stranded for electric dryer vs 8-AWG for longer run
I planned on using 10-AWG stranded THHN Should be easier to pull than solid No one sells #10 solid THHN around here anyway Conduit run is about 65 feet from panel * edit * I just measured and I will need approximately 94 feet wire length, which includes slack to get into panel and into outlet box on interior of laundry room My question
- INSULATION: STANDARDS: CONDUCTORS - Priority Wire
Copper THHN THWN-2 conductors are primarily used in conduit and cable trays, when approved, for services, feeders and branch circuits in commercial or industrial applications as specified in the National Electric Code THHN applications are suitable for use in dry locations only at temperatures not to exceed 90°C
- THHN — Products - Alan Wire
Type AWM or MTW conductors are primarily used as appliance or machine tool wiring, as specified by the National Electric Code Type THHN or THWN-2 are available stranded in sizes 14 awg - 750 kcmiL, and as solid in sizes 14-10 awg Stranded sizes 14 awg - 750 kcmiL are also rated as AWM or MTW
- THHN Electrical Wire – 600V Copper Building Cable - Allied Wire
THHN (Thermoplastic High Heat-Resistant Nylon-coated) wire is a general-purpose copper building wire rated for 600 volts, constructed with a single solid or stranded copper conductor It features PVC insulation and a nylon jacket, providing resistance to heat, moisture, and abrasion
