The Black UL1015 Wire Cable 12 AWG is a high-quality, durable electrical wire commonly used in a variety of industrial, commercial, and residential applications. It is recognized for its flexibility, heat resistance, and ability to handle higher currents.
Key Features:
- Type: UL1015-rated wire, which meets the Underwriters Laboratories (UL) safety and electrical performance standards.
- Gauge: 12 AWG (American Wire Gauge), meaning the wire has a diameter of approximately 2.05 mm (0.081 inches). This size allows it to carry currents typically up to 20-25 amps, depending on the insulation and application.
- Conductor: Composed of stranded copper conductors, which are known for their excellent electrical conductivity and flexibility. Stranded wires are more flexible than solid core wires, making them easier to install in tight spaces or in applications where movement is required.
- Insulation: Encased in PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) insulation, which is flame-retardant, heat-resistant, and provides protection against moisture, chemicals, and abrasion.
- Voltage Rating: Rated for up to 600V in most applications, ensuring it can handle a variety of electrical loads safely.
- Temperature Rating: Can operate in temperatures up to 105°C (221°F), making it suitable for environments with higher heat exposure.
- Color: The wire is black, which is often used to indicate ground or neutral wiring in DC circuits, or for general electrical power lines in AC circuits.
Applications:
- Internal wiring for appliances, electrical panels, and machinery.
- Automotive and marine wiring systems.
- General-purpose power and control circuits, particularly for grounding or neutral connections.
- Industrial equipment and power distribution systems.
The Black 12 AWG UL1015 wire is a versatile and durable wire option, designed to handle medium to high current loads with flexibility and reliability in various environments.
