scope:
This Standards Publication covers specific requirements for Ethylene-Propylene Diene Elastomer (EPDM) insulated solid and stranded wire, designed to the internal wiring of high-reliability electrical and electronic equipment. It addresses 600 V (Type EP) and 5000 V (Type EPD) wire and permits continuous conductor temperature ratings of -25ºC to +125ºC with tin-coated conductors. These types of hook-up wire are used when the following requirements are called for:
a) Moderate temperature resistance
b) Good flexibility and flex life when stranded conductors are used
