1. THW cable

The source describes a single-core cable with one PVC insulation layer, rated at 450/750V and 70°C, for indoor conduits and wireways. Its source warning states that it must not be installed directly underground or in buried conduit.

2. VAF cable

The source describes a double-insulated cable with two cores or two cores plus earth (VAF-G), rated at 300/500V, typically mounted on walls indoors. Its source warning excludes three-phase 380V circuits and underground installation.

3. NYY cable

The source describes three insulation layers, durability and moisture resistance, with a 450/750V rating. It describes use outdoors, in buried conduit or directly underground, including feeds to machinery and pump motors.
