Breaker BootCamp Study Guide


THHN wire is an individual insulated conductor used in conduit systems.


It is not a cable.





What It Does



THHN conductors are pulled through raceways to supply power where mechanical protection is required.





Where It’s Used



  • EMT, PVC, or rigid conduit

  • Commercial installations

  • Exposed or serviceable runs






One Critical Rule



THHN wire must be installed in conduit.

Running THHN without a raceway is not allowed.





Why Breaker BootCamp Teaches This



The Breaker BootCamp Study Guide teaches wiring methods correctly so the Breaker BootCamp course avoids improper installations, failed inspections, and unsafe conductor exposure.
