Applications
Within its permitted use — internal wiring of appliances — UL 1032 18 AWG suits internal circuits of household and commercial appliances operating up to 1000 Vac or 1200 Vdc, and internal electronic circuits where the tag marking 3500 V peak — for electronic use only applies. Where oil exposure occurs inside the appliance, specify the optional 60°C or 80°C oil rating. For applications outside internal appliance wiring, confirm application suitability before specifying.
