UL3290

UL3290 hook-up wire with XLPE insulation, UL-certified for 125°C/600V. Designed for HVAC, refrigeration, and industrial equipment needing durability, heat, and electrical reliability.


UL3290 XLPE Insulated Wire – 125°C / 600V Hook-Up Wire for HVAC and High-Temperature Equipment

UL3290 is a high-performance hook-up wire certified under UL 758 (AWM Style 3290), insulated with cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE). With a voltage rating of 600V and thermal endurance up to 125°C, it’s specifically engineered for internal wiring in heat pumps, HVAC units, and refrigeration equipment, where thermal stress, electrical load, and mechanical reliability are key concerns.

Its thicker insulation wall provides enhanced protection against abrasion, electrical leakage, and environmental wear—making UL3290 an ideal solution for industrial and commercial machinery exposed to fluctuating temperatures or enclosed electrical compartments.
