Addressing possible damage to outer nylon jacket on THHN Cable

Damaged Nylon on THHN cable
The wrinkling and small tears in the nylon jacket should have no effect on the insulation
values of the cable. The nylon serves three functions in the role of the cable, none having an
effect on the electrical integrity of the cable:
The first function of the nylon jacket is to provide mechanical protection to the PVC insulation
during installation. The nylon jacket protects the PVC insulation from the hazards and rigors
associated with pulling cables in conduits and cable trays. Because it is such a thin layer, it is
common for the nylon jacket to tear during pulling. Many consider it to be a sacrificial layer.
Most importantly, however, since the nylon does not serve a purpose in the electrical
performance of the cable, one should not expect to experience any electrical problems with
the cable as long as the PVC insulation is not damaged during installation. If the PVC
insulation is damaged and the cable is installed in a wet environment, then the chances of
failure for the cable increase. Adherence of proper cable installation techniques and sufficient
lubrication should minimize the potential for damage to the cable.
The second function of the nylon jacket is to provide gasoline and oil resistance for the PVC
insulation. Operating the cable where it may be subject to these conditions could present
problems. If these conditions are not present, again, there should not be any anticipated
problems.
The third and final function of the nylon jacket is to provide protection to the cable from
Ultraviolet Light Exposure. Special inhibitors are added to the nylon to permit the cable to be
used in applications where exposed to sunlight. This feature, however, only applies to those
Southwire constructions marked “Sunlight Resistant”. Small tears in the nylon should not
jeopardize the integrity of the cable in such applications.
An Insulation Resistance Test can be preformed on the cables for a check of their electrical
integrity. Contact me if you have additional questions

Step 1. Loosen flat head bolt using 7/32” hex key to remove dowel. (Pup: 3/16” hex key)
Step 2. Remove bolt from dowel. Dowel and bolt sizes vary between models.
Step 3. Insert bolt into countersunk end of replacement dowel.
Step 4. Thread bolt/dowel assembly onto Bulldog Bender handle and torque to 15 ft. lbs.
