8525 0141000

Single conductor cables (hook-up wire) are versatile wires and cables used to simplify the routing of electrical wiring during maintenance or construction. 8525 0141000 is a hook-up wire and therefore can be classified as a single conductor cable. It is UL recognized—meeting both UL VW-1 and UL 1277 horizontal flame tests.

8525 0141000 is a hook-up wire used for internal connection wiring applications such as in motors, transformers, and control panels. It is a single conductor wire and is suitable for use in 600-volt power distribution applications, including in power disconnect switches, meters, circuit breakers, and more. The wire is designed to be flexible and durable, and its insulating coating guards against abrasion, moisture, and extreme temperatures.

8525 0141000 is uncoated copper conductor cable available in 14AWG to 22AWG. The wire’s insulation material includes rigid PVC that’s PVC coated in a black, semi-rigid PVC jacket. The operating temperature range for the wire is 0°C to +105°C and its working voltage is 600V. The insulation is single, continuous, and flexible for ease of handling.

The working principle of a single conductor cable like 8525 0141000 is fairly simple. Such cables are made up of a single copper or other metal conductor that is surrounded by insulation. This insulation acts as a barrier between the metal conductor and itself, and also restricts the current that can flow through the cable. The current running through the cable will be restricted to the amount of amperage and voltage allowed by the insulation. Depending on the environment in which the cable is used, the insulation and construction of the cable will be determined.

The UL VW-1 and UL 1277 horizontal flame test ratings for 8525 0141000 ensure it stands up to tough conditions. The VW-1 rating means that the material passes “Vertical Wire Flame Test” requirements, and the UL 1277 rating means that the material passes “Horizontal Flame Propagation Test” requirements. Passing these tests ensures that the cable is suitable for use in certain applications, such as internal wiring in motors, transformers, and control panels.

In short, 8525 0141000 can be categorized as a single conductor cable (hook-up wire) because it is a single conductor wire used for internal connection wiring applications. The wire is UL recognized and designed to be flexible and durable, with an operating temperature range of 0°C to +105°C and a working voltage of 600V. It is also certified to meet both UL VW-1 and UL 1277 horizontal flame tests, ensuring it stands up to rough conditions. The working principle of such cables is simple, as they are made up of a single metal conductor surrounded by an insulated barrier.
