Advantages of THW cable
THW wire typically consists of a soft-drawn bare copper conductor and a PVC insulation layer. The conductor can be a single solid copper conductor or a multi-strand stranded copper conductor, adapting to different installation methods and construction needs. The copper conductor has good conductivity and stability, ensuring efficient current transmission. The outer PVC insulation tightly covers the conductor, with uniform thickness and a smooth surface, facilitating conduit installation.

APPLICATIONS
THW wire is suitable for installation in PVC conduits, metal conduits, or other approved raceway systems. It is not recommended for direct exposure or use in high-temperature environments. Due to its temperature rating of 60°C, THW wire is more suitable for fixed installations under standard load conditions, such as in residential units, apartment buildings, schools, office buildings, and small commercial premises.

Residential Building
THW wire is widely used in lighting circuits for detached houses, apartments, and townhouses, installed through PVC or metal conduits, meeting the 600V, 60°C indoor electrical requirements.

Residential Socket
In Philippine residences, THW wire is commonly used as branch wiring for wall sockets, supplying power to regular loads such as televisions, fans, and small appliances

School
Lighting and general power systems in classrooms, offices, and libraries typically use THW wire, meeting basic safety and regulatory requirements.

Hospitals
In waiting areas, administrative offices, and public corridors, THW wire can be used for basic lighting and socket wiring.
