Tri-Rated Wire Vs Equipment (Hook Up Wire)

Les Spiteri
Hi Guys


I have been designing hardware for electrical panels for many years now and generally have always used "TRI-RATED" wire within the enclosure, occasionally and more prevalent recently is the specification for Low Smoke Zero Halogen but what about Equipment Wire?


Has anybody used this within electrical control panels for 24Vdc control voltages, in what applications is this acceptable? I have seen machine builders use it often so therefore as they are following 60204 then is it also possible to use within Control Panels for machinery?

    Yes I have always used Tri-Rated wire and we would be following 60204/61439, it was more to see if anybody has used Equipment Wire within Control panels? And to see if there was any knowledge on when this is used and when it can cross into Control Gear?
