10 AWG TEW Wire · Green/yellow Thermoplastic Equipment Wire · Stranded Cut To Length

What this product is for

This product is a 10 AWG stranded TEW wire in green/yellow, typically used where a flexible insulated copper conductor is needed for grounding identification, panel work, and internal equipment wiring.

Use for

Use for control panels, equipment grounding conductors, internal wiring of electrical equipment, and other applications where TEW wire is specified and green/yellow identification is required. Typical TEW listings in this class are used in lighting equipment, heating equipment, panels and meters.

Avoid for

Avoid using this wire where a different insulation type, wet-location rating, direct burial rating, or cable assembly is required. Do not assume building wire approvals, sunlight resistance, or exact spool length unless confirmed for this specific SKU.

Best for

Best for electricians and panel builders who need a stranded 10 AWG insulated copper conductor with clear green/yellow grounding identification and easier handling than solid wire in tighter enclosures.

Installed in

Commonly installed in control cabinets, switchboards, machinery, electrical equipment, and raceway-based installations where the governing code and equipment documentation permit TEW conductors.

Why this product exists

TEW wire is used when installers need a single conductor with PVC insulation, stranded flexibility, and common equipment-wire approvals. Green/yellow colouring helps identify grounding conductors quickly during installation and service.

Compared with similar products

Compared with solid building wire, stranded TEW is typically easier to route and terminate in equipment. Compared with RW90 or other building wire types, TEW is generally chosen for equipment and internal wiring applications rather than as a default substitute. As a rule of thumb, 10 AWG is commonly associated with 30A circuits, but actual conductor selection depends on insulation type, termination ratings, installation method, and Canadian Electrical Code requirements.

Actual performance and code acceptance depend on installation conditions, equipment listings, termination temperature ratings, and local electrical code.
