Multi-conductor 6/4C Type W cable is a heavy-duty 2000V portable power cable designed for four-wire temporary power distribution, dynamic portable equipment, dewatering pumps, and heavy machinery leads. Common uses include generator tails, 4-wire industrial motor feeds, shallow water pump operations, temporary distribution panels, shipyard equipment, and main power drops for outdoor concerts, festivals, and film staging.
Per NEC Table 400.5(A)(2) and manufacturer specs, a 6 AWG 4-conductor Type W cable rated at 90°C carries a maximum continuous ampacity of 87 Amps in free air (based on a 30°C ambient temperature). Always check derating factors and local electrical codes for your specific setup.
Yes. 6/4C Type W cable features an extra-heavy-duty CPE jacket and EPR insulation rated for shallow water immersion, as well as wet or dry environments from -40°C to +90°C. It handles continuous UV sunlight, ozone, oils, and aggressive jobsite chemicals without breaking down.
No. Under NEC Article 400, multi-conductor flexible portable power cords are restricted to temporary power distribution and equipment leads. Unlike single-conductor Type W (which carries a dual RHH/RHW-2 building wire rating), multi-conductor Type W cannot be pulled through permanent building conduit or raceways.
While both are multi-conductor flexible cords, they are built for different duty levels:
6 AWG 4-Conductor Type W uses 259 fine strands of tinned copper per conductor for extra pliability around tight corners. With a minimum bending radius rating of 6 times the overall outer diameter (1.10" OD), this cable needs a minimum bending radius of 6.60 inches (168.0 mm) for safe routing.
The four conductors inside a 6/4C Type W cable are color-coded Black, White, Red, and Green for clear circuit and phase identification. Per UL and CSA standards, the Green conductor is designated specifically for grounding purposes, while Black, White, and Red carry your power phases.
Yes! Wire America supplies 6/4C Type W cable cut-to-length by the foot with zero cut fees, so you only pay for the exact footage your jobsite demands. Full master reels are also available for major industrial projects with fast jobsite delivery.
