Question: So I am troubleshooting a failing VFD and I wanted to make sure the correct conductors were used. I was able to get these markings off the conductors but they seem a bit Greek to me.... Can anyone give me a hand?CT USE(UL) OR C(UL) TYPE T90 NYLON OR TWN 75 FTI 13/JAN/10 15:11 3410 4728 5283 99 NCAfter a few google lookups I can see that this would meet our requirement for THHN but for the life of me I can't find what would say the gauge of the wireAlso assuming that the wire was made Jan 13th 2010 I'm so smart!Is that not all the information from the conductor? I was only able to write out what I could find in the controller.Any other info needed please let me know!Thanks folks,Chris
