Machine Tool Wire 12 AWG 500 ft

Carol 76822.R8.01 is a stranded hook-up wire designed for machine-tool wiring and general industrial circuits. It carries AWM, MTW, TEW and TFF designations with a black PVC jacket. The 500-foot spool suits panel builders and maintenance electricians who need UL-listed conductors for 600-volt control systems.

12 AWG 19-strand conductor

The single specification that decides fit is the 12 AWG size built from 19 strands of 0.0185-inch copper. This stranding yields a 0.16-inch nominal outside diameter and meets the ampacity requirements for 600-volt MTW and TFF service at temperatures from -40 to 194 degrees F, while TEW and AWM ratings extend to 221 degrees F.

Straightforward spool handling

The wire pays off the reel without special tools; standard strippers and crimpers terminate the stranded conductor cleanly. Installers should verify that conduit fill and bend-radius limits match the 0.16-inch diameter. The most common error is exceeding the -40-degree lower limit for MTW applications or confusing the TEW 221-degree ceiling with the MTW 194-degree rating.

Questions about this item

How much current can 12 AWG stranded wire carry inside a machine tool?

At 600 V the 12 AWG stranded conductor is rated for typical machine-tool loads; the PVC insulation is listed to UL VW-1 and meets AWM 1015, 1335, 1336, CSA and NMTBA standards.

Which temperature rating applies when the wire is used as TEW or AWM?

TEW and AWM ratings cover -4 °F to 221 °F, while MTW and TFF ratings cover -40 °F to 194 °F.

What conduit or tray size is needed for a 0.16 in outside-diameter cable?

The nominal OD is 0.16 in, so standard 1/2 in trade-size conduit or cable tray provides ample fill capacity for the 500 ft spool.
