UL 3173 wire is a single-conductor hook-up wire known for its cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) insulation and tinned copper conductors. This wire is commonly used in various applications, including power and control circuits, and is recognized for its resistance to heat, abrasion, and chemicals.
Conductors:UL 3173 wires typically use stranded tinned copper conductors, which offer improved corrosion and oxidation resistance compared to pure copper.Insulation:The wire features cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) insulation. This type of insulation provides excellent resistance to heat, abrasion, and various chemicals like oils, fuels, and solvents.
Voltage Rating:UL 3173 wire is rated for 600 volts, making it suitable for power and control circuits.
Temperature Rating:The XLPE insulation allows the wire to withstand temperatures up to 125°C.
Applications:It's frequently used in switchboards and other applications where a robust and reliable hook-up wire is needed.
Standards:UL 3173 wire meets industry standards, including UL 758 and CSA, ensuring its quality and safety.Specification and Parameter

FAQ
1. What is UL3173 wire?
UL3173 is a 125°C, 600V-rated, XLPE (cross-linked polyethylene) insulated wire certified by Underwriters Laboratories (UL). It is primarily used for internal wiring in appliances2. What are the key features of UL3173 wire?
Conductor:30-10 AWG solid or stranded, tinned or bare copper.
Insulation:Irradiated XLPE (cross-linked polyethylene) for enhanced heat resistance.
Temperature Rating: 125°C continuous operation.
Voltage Rating:600V AC.
Flame Test Compliance: Passes UL VW-1 & CSA FT1 vertical flame tests.
Environmental Compliance: RoHS-compliant.3. Does UL3173 require irradiation?
Yes, UL3173 typically requires irradiation to achieve cross-linking in the XLPE insulation, enhancing its thermal and mechanical properties. Without irradiation, the insulation may not meet UL standards for 125°C operation.4. What applications is UL3173 wire suitable for?
Internal wiring of appliances (e.g., refrigerators, air conditioners).
Motor lead wires and electronic device connections.
Industrial control panels & lighting fixtures.
Not recommended for outdoor or wet locations (use UL-rated weather-resistant cables instead).5. What are the differences between UL3173 and UL1007/UL1015?
UL3173 uses XLPE insulation (125°C), while UL1007 (80°C) and UL1015 (105°C) use PVC.
UL3173 is irradiated, providing better heat resistance and mechanical durability.6. What are common issues when manufacturing UL3173 wire?
Surface burrs: May occur due to improper extrusion temperature, cooling, or material quality.
Poor insulation adhesion: Could result from incorrect irradiation dosage or material defects.
Solution: Adjust extrusion parameters, verify material quality, and ensure proper cooling.7. Is UL3173 wire RoHS and REACH compliant?**
Most UL3173 wires comply with RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) and REACH regulations, but always confirm with the supplier.8. What are the standard packaging lengths for UL3173?
30-18 AWG: Typically 2000 ft (610 m) per roll.
16-10 AWG: Usually 1000 ft (305 m) per roll.9. How to verify UL3173 compliance?
Check for the UL Mark and E-number (e.g., E495994) on the wire jacket, then verify on UL’s online certification database.
