Can you
tell what size the wire is?
Sorry, I'm not good at telling those larger sizes apart. I looked on the insulation
to see if it said, and all it gave was some manufacturer data, and a 600V rating.
Well, the 600V rating does tell you that it has a really heavy insulation.
Not really. It just means that it?s wire for standard US mains wiring applications; 600
volts is the lowest voltage rating you?ll find for wire approved for that purpose, and
with modern materials that can be quite thin. Odd that it doesn?t show the size,
though; the required information is maker, wire type (like ?XHHN? or ?MTW?) and wire
gauge. You can of course grab a handy caliper or micrometer and measure it...
