UL-Recognized Hookup Wire must meet certain safety standards, including:
* Flammability: The wire must be resistant to burning and self-extinguishing when the flame is removed.
* Electrical properties: The wire must meet certain electrical properties such as voltage rating, current carrying capacity, and insulation resistance.
* Mechanical properties: The wire must be flexible and resistant to damage from bending, twisting, and stretching.
UL-Recognized Hookup Wire is available in a variety of sizes, colors, and insulation materials. It is typically sold in spools or coils.
When selecting UL-Recognized Hookup Wire for your application, it is important to consider the following factors:
* Voltage rating: The voltage rating of the wire must be greater than or equal to the voltage of the circuit in which it will be used.
* Current carrying capacity: The current carrying capacity of the wire must be greater than or equal to the maximum current that will flow through the circuit.
* Insulation material: The insulation material of the wire should be resistant to the temperatures and chemicals that it will be exposed to.
* Flexibility: The wire should be flexible enough to be easily routed and installed.
By following these guidelines, you can ensure that you are using UL-Recognized Hookup Wire that is safe and reliable for your application.
