You'll likely see labels like THHN or THWN written on the wire. For example, THHN wire stands for thermoplastic high heat-resistant nylon coated wire. THWN stands for thermoplastic heat- and moisture-resistant nylon coated wire. As you can see, these wires are built to take on many different conditions.
Southwire Type THHN or THWN-2* conductors are primarily used in conduit and cable trays for services, feeders, and branch circuits in commercial or industrial applications as specified in the 2008 National Electrical Code. When used as Type THHN, or T90 Nylon conductor is suitable for use in dry locations at temperatures not to exceed 90 C. When used as Type THWN-2* or TWN75, conductor is suitable for use in wet or dry locations at temperatures not to exceed 90 C or not to exceed 75 C when exposed to oil or coolant.
