UL3173 Electrical Single Core PV XLPE Wire

UL AWM 3173 125℃ 600V XLPE Halogen Free Hookup Wire

The UL AWM 3173 electrical single-core PV XLPE wire is engineered for demanding electrical environments where reliability and safety are paramount. Encased in a specialized cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) insulation, this wire presents a smooth, uniform tactile finish that resists abrasion during complex routing in tight spaces. Unlike traditional PVC alternatives, our low smoke zero halogen (LSZH) material is completely odorless and environmentally responsible, strictly adhering to RoHS standards. It maintains exceptional moisture resistance and structural integrity even under continuous exposure to elevated temperatures up to 125℃. By utilizing stranded or solid copper conductors—available in both bare and tinned variants—the wire ensures optimal conductivity and oxidation resistance over extended periods. Procurement teams and engineers will appreciate the precise construction, which translates to fewer maintenance interruptions, enhanced operational stability, and a significantly longer lifecycle for end-use appliances, motors, and lighting fixtures.

• Rated Voltage: 600V — Engineered to support substantial power loads safely, delivering consistent and stable electrical or signal transmission without voltage drops. This capacity is essential for heavy-duty transformers, industrial machinery, and intricate control panels.

• Rated Temperature: 125ºC — The advanced XLPE insulation withstands severe thermal stress, preventing melting or degradation in confined, heat-generating spaces like automotive engine compartments, lighting ballasts, and high-output electrical appliances.

• Insulation Material: XLPE — A highly durable, eco-friendly, and halogen-free compound that provides superior dielectric strength, excellent moisture defense, and a significantly reduced environmental footprint compared to conventional insulating materials.

• Conductor: Tinned or Bare, Stranded or Solid Copper — Available in multiple configurations to suit specific flexibility and conductivity requirements. The tinned option offers enhanced corrosion resistance, while the precise stranding ensures long-term mechanical resilience against constant vibration.

• Reference Standard: UL758, UL1581, C22.2 No.210 — Manufactured under stringent global compliance protocols. This rigorous adherence guarantees that every spool meets strict safety and performance benchmarks, facilitating smooth international procurement and regulatory alignment.

• Uniform insulation thickness of wire to ensure easy stripping and cutting. — Designed with precision concentricity. This physical consistency prevents conductor damage during automated processing, accelerating assembly lines and reducing material waste for high-volume manufacturing operations.

• For internal wiring of electronic and electrical equipment and appliance, transformers, motors, ballasts, solenoids, automobile, engine, lighting, etc. — Specifically tailored for versatile integration across multiple sectors, ensuring reliable power delivery in smart home appliances, new energy vehicles, and advanced lighting systems.

Advanced Performance Capabilities & Customization

Beyond the standard specifications, the UL3173 single-core wire is designed to address the nuanced challenges of modern electrical manufacturing. From mitigating fire hazards to streamlining factory floor operations, every aspect of this wire adds tangible value to the final assembled product.

Stringent Safety and Flame Retardancy

Safety remains the cornerstone of our engineering process. This hookup wire successfully passes the rigorous UL VW-1 and CSA FT1/FT2 vertical and horizontal flame tests. In the event of an electrical fault or external fire, the XLPE insulation exhibits outstanding self-extinguishing properties. This critical feature substantially lowers the risk of fire propagation within complex electrical systems, providing peace of mind for manufacturers and end-users alike.

Streamlined Processing and Automated Assembly

Efficiency on the assembly line directly impacts production costs. Thanks to the highly uniform insulation thickness, the wire feels remarkably consistent to the touch and feeds flawlessly through automated stripping and cutting machinery. The insulation parts cleanly without snagging or leaving residue on the copper core, making it exceptionally well-suited for precision wiring in the confined spaces of smart home appliances and compact electronics.

Comprehensive Color and Specification Customization

To accommodate the intricate identification needs of complex circuitry, we offer this wire in over ten standard colors, including black, white, red, yellow, and blue. Combined with a broad selection of wire gauges ranging from 26AWG to 10AWG, and the choice between single-core or multi-stranded conductors, engineers have the exact specifications required to map out clear, easily maintainable electrical pathways.

Global Certification and Compliance

Navigating international markets requires components with undisputed regulatory backing. By strictly executing industry standards and securing authoritative certifications from UL, CSA, and SGS, this wire eliminates compliance hurdles. Sourcing this globally recognized component ensures that your final products meet the necessary legal and safety requirements for export and distribution worldwide.
