What is the temperature rating of THHN WIRE?
THHN wire is moisture resistant thermoplastic allowed for use in dry and wet locations. Maximum temperature is 60 C or 140 F. Being thermoplastic it should not be handled below 0 C as cracking of the insulation could easily occur.
Why is stranded wire used?
Multiple stranded cable is used in transmission lines because the high voltage potential of each line causes the electrons to tend to run only on the surface of the line due to repulsion. You want to maximize the surface area of the line, hence the multiple stranded lines, so that you maximize the efficiency of the line. In fact, some transmission lines have a non-conductive core, adding strength while maintaining low weight.
