Hook Up Wire

MTW Wire (UL 1015 Machine Tool Wire)

26 AWG – 4/0 · 15 sizes 600V AC / 750V DC 105C SOLID PVC

UL 1015 hook-up wire combines a copper conductor with PVC for appliance leads, control cabinets and electronic equipment. The base AWM style is identified for 600V and 105°C service, with additional product markings evaluated separately. The insulated conductor supports organized routing and color identification within the equipment assembly. Gauge, stranding and color options allow equipment builders to match the wire to their circuit and termination requirements. This family serves OEM production, harness assembly and maintenance work where the specified appliance wiring construction is required.

UL 1015 Questions and Answers

What is the ampacity of 14 AWG MTW wire?

15 amps in a UL 508A control panel, in both the 60°C and 75°C columns. NEC 240.4(D) also limits 14 AWG copper to 15 amp overcurrent protection. The MTW ampacity chart covers 24 AWG to 4/0.

What is the ampacity of 16 AWG and 18 AWG MTW?

10 amps for 16 AWG and 7 amps for 18 AWG, per UL 508A Table 28.1 and NFPA 79 Table 12.5.1.

Why isn't MTW sized at its 90°C or 105°C rating?

Because the terminals it lands on are usually rated 60°C or 75°C. UL 508A requires sizing to the terminal rating, so the wire's higher insulation rating gives you margin against heat, not extra amps.

Is MTW the same as UL 1015?

They are different listings that are almost always applied to the same wire. MTW is the UL 1063 machine-tool designation; UL 1015 is the UL 758 appliance-wiring style. Dual-rated MTW / UL 1015 wire satisfies both, which is why we list it as one product.

What is the difference between UL 1015 and UL 1007?

UL 1015 is rated 600V and 105°C with a heavy PVC wall. UL 1007 is rated 300V and 80°C with a thin wall, so it packs tighter on the low-voltage side of a panel. Voltage decides it: anything at line voltage needs UL 1015. See UL 1007 vs UL 1015.

Is MTW the same as THHN?

Not exactly. THHN is a building wire listed under UL 83 with a nylon jacket; MTW is a UL 1063 machine tool wire with thicker, more flexible PVC. A wire marked only MTW is for equipment and panels, not building raceway. See the MTW panel wire guide.
