What type of locations can dual-rated THHN/THWN conductors be installed in?

Dual-rated THHN/THWN conductors are versatile and can be installed in a variety of locations due to their specific ratings. The "THHN" rating indicates that the conductor is suitable for dry locations, while the "THWN" rating indicates it can also be used in wet locations. This dual rating allows these conductors to be employed in environments where moisture exposure may occur, such as in outdoor installations or in areas with high humidity.

Additionally, because these conductors are thermoplastic insulated and have a nylon jacket, they can withstand environmental factors that would typically limit other types of wiring. Consequently, they can also be used in hazardous locations that meet certain conditions, provided that local electrical codes and regulations are followed.

Given this flexibility and the broad scope of acceptable installation environments, THHN/THWN conductors can be installed in any type of location designated as dry, wet, or hazardous, making them suitable for a wide range of applications in electrical work.
