Rick, In my company we are able to use non-HAR wire for "internal only" hookup applications, even for internal mains circuits. There is the requirement that the wire must be approved for the use by some accredited agency like UL, CSA, notified bodies, and so on. So far, Mil Std wire is unacceptable unless it carries dual approval to an accredited agency. And then we use the voltage ratings from UL or CSA. A good case in point is the Mill Style EE wire which Mil Std rates at 1000V and UL rates at 300V. Also you must watch the colors carefully, either use the correct colors for phase and neutral or use all black. We use black for everything except the PE harness.
The PE (protective earth) harness still needs the grn/yel (50/50) combination. In the past we used green UL1015 wire with a yellow stripe added but found that the vendors used striping paint that washes off with mild solvents like alcohol and even a thumbnail is able to scrape it off. In addition, they seldom were able to control the color coverage to achieve the 30/70 min/max for the colors. The end result is that we now buy all of our grn/yel wire from Olflex. If you learn of second source I would like to who they are. Doug Powell, Compliance Engineer Advanced Energy Industries, Inc.

Hookup wire can be essentially anything providing it meets the application.

Specifically looking for 22awg hookup wire, 22awg single pair shielded, 22awg 3 cond shielded, 22awg 2 pair shielded. The shielded should preferably have a drain wire, Thanks for any help.
