UL 1032 Wire: Specifications, Applications, and Buying Guide

UL 1032 is a widely used hook-up wire standard designed for internal appliance and equipment wiring where higher voltage ratings and durable PVC insulation are required. At Ramcorp Wire & Cable, we frequently support manufacturers, contractors, and engineers who specify UL 1032 for dependable, code-compliant performance in demanding electrical applications.

UL 1032 Code Summary

UL 1032 covers single-conductor wire with extruded PVC insulation intended for internal wiring of appliances and electronic equipment. This wire type is rated for 90°C with a voltage rating of 1000V AC or 1200V DC and meets horizontal flame resistance requirements. Optional oil resistance is available at 60°C or 80°C depending on construction.

UL 1032 Specifications

  • Temperature Rating: 90°C
  • Voltage Rating: 1000V AC / 1200V DC
  • Conductor Sizes: 30 AWG to 2000 kcmil
  • Conductor Types: Solid or Stranded
  • Insulation: Extruded PVC (thickness varies by size)
  • Primary Use: Internal appliance and equipment wiring
  • Standard: UL 758 (Appliance Wiring Material)

Common Applications for UL 1032 Wire

UL 1032 wire is commonly selected for applications that require higher voltage capacity combined with flexible, durable PVC insulation. Typical uses include:

  • Internal wiring of household and commercial appliances
  • HVAC equipment and control assemblies
  • Power supplies and electrical enclosures
  • Lighting fixtures and industrial equipment

UL 1032 vs Other UL Hook-Up Wire Styles

UL 1032 is often compared with other PVC insulated hook-up wire styles. The primary differences relate to voltage rating, insulation thickness, and installation environment:

  • UL 1015: Lower voltage rating with thinner PVC insulation
  • UL 1061: Thin-wall insulation for space-constrained applications
  • UL 1032: Thicker insulation and higher voltage rating for more demanding uses
