Confirming a UL 1015 10 AWG PVC Wire Requirement for Appliance Motor Internal Wiring
UL AWM Style 1015 10 AWG PVC wire, rated 105°C and 600 Vac, is a defined internal-wiring construction commonly specified for appliance motor leads and similar internal connections. Before that BOM line goes into an RFQ, it’s worth confirming the exact insulation requirement, temperature configuration, and voltage rating your project needs actually match the confirmed Style 1015 data at 10 AWG — since UL 1015 itself spans a much broader conductor range and multiple qualified temperature and voltage configurations. This page defines exactly what applies at 10 AWG / 105°C / 600 Vac, and flags what still needs to be specified separately.

105°C and 600 Vac: The Configuration This Page Targets
UL Style 1015 permits 80°C, 90°C, or 105°C temperature configurations, and either 600 Vac or 750 Vdc voltage ratings, depending on the qualified construction. This page specifically targets the 105°C / 600 Vac configuration — this page does not imply that every UL 1015 construction is automatically marked 105°C regardless of the actual ordered construction, and 750 Vdc is not treated as a primary keyword here since this page is built around the 600 Vac purchasing requirement. If your project requires the 80°C, 90°C, or 750 Vdc configuration instead, confirm that explicitly in your RFQ.
30/27 Mil PVC Insulation at 10 AWG
10 AWG falls within UL 1015’s 30–9 AWG conductor group, which carries a confirmed insulation requirement of 30 mils minimum average thickness and 27 mils minimum thickness at any point, using extruded PVC. This page does not calculate or invent a finished outside diameter from these insulation values — conductor geometry and manufacturing tolerances are order-specific and should be confirmed separately if dimension matters to your assembly.
Optional Oil Resistance: Confirm If Your Motor Compartment Requires It
UL 1015 allows an optional 60°C or 80°C oil-resistant construction. This is optional — this page does not describe every UL 1015 10 AWG wire as oil resistant. If an appliance motor compartment may expose internal wiring to oil, lubricant, or similar conditions, request the actual required rating in your RFQ rather than assuming it’s included by default. This optional rating is not extended here into unsupported claims for gasoline, diesel, solvent, acid, alkali, or general industrial-chemical resistance.
Appliance Motor Internal Wiring: The Application Context
The confirmed UL 1015 use is Internal Wiring of Appliances. Realistic commercial purchasing contexts for the 10 AWG / 105°C / 600 Vac configuration include appliance motor leads, motor-compartment internal connections, internal terminal-to-motor leads, and other appliance internal wiring where this conductor size and rating combination is specified. This page does not expand UL 1015 into building wire, branch circuit wiring, field wiring, external power cable, portable cord, tray cable, conduit wiring, or general building distribution.
What the UL Style Does Not Define for Your 10 AWG Order
The Style data does not automatically define: conductor plating, strand count, strand diameter, conductor resistance, ampacity, finished OD, bend radius, flex cycles, standard colour, standard reel length, stock status, MOQ, lead time, or production capacity. None of these values are invented on this page — if they matter to your project, provide or confirm them during quotation.
