is the wire insulated or is it bare copper wire?

It is wrapped in polyurethane. It doesn't need to be insulated. You tube has videos on how to install it yourself!

The wire is insulated; however, the wire is very thin. You can easily replace it with larger insulated wire from home store.

Can't say for certain. The manufacturer's web site does not state the metal used for the wires. From the cord I have, it seems heavy enough to have been made of copper -- and looking at the semi-translucent ends -- it looks like the wires are copper. But I can't say so with absolute certainty. I note that the manufacturer's web site shows approval by a huge number of standards organizations -- so if you look up the UL specs, it may state the wire used. Of course, you can contact the manufacturer (Conntek) and ask them...

THERE IS NO COPPER IN THESE WIRES, not sure what it is. See my review below.

This is a ready to use unit. The wire coil is the temp prob. It's a solid ready to use unit

The wire itself is 18. Not sure with the insulation. My switch already cracked in the cold weather during duck hunting.

Yes, it is insulated and very protected. I would highly recommend this product. I do not think you would have any problems running this on the ground between the shed and garage.

Thank you for your question! Typically, Innotek units come with green insulated copper wire. However, the color of the insulation is not important; it is the gauge of the copper wire that needs to be matched when purchasing extra. The unit comes with 20 gauge solid copper wire. Our systems can effectively accommodate 14- to 20-gauge insulated copper wire. So if you wish to use a thicker wire, you can. For best results, it is recommended to use all the same gauge or no more than one gauge larger or smaller than the current wire. The wire can be solid, stranded or a mixture of both.

It is a standard UL listed power cord like you will find on any general appliance. I have not cut into the cord to see if it is double insulated, but most are these days, since people put them in bathrooms, poolside, etc. (Unit is NOT WATERPROOF) I'd expect they are well enough insulated for any normal use. Overall its a good little music machine that has performed well for a year now. For the money, I'd buy it for my daughter again.

No it is not. It does not have a coil of copper wire in the bottom. It is completely stainless steel, and I am very pleased with it. That is a benefit of stainless steel, it heats rapidly so a lower temperature can be used while cooking and stainless will will hold the heat.

I believe what he wants to know is what the current carrying capacity of the 'wires' are.. if we know the gauge the wire this can be looked up online I would assume they are stranded wires.. there are different tables depending on weather it is stranded or solid copper wire.

stranded wires are insulation around multiple smaller generally copper wires where as solid is one single thicker wire surrounded by insulation rather than multiple smaller wires, stranded tends to be less rigid and frays easily solid does not fray and stays rigid much easier

It is a complete socket with a moisture resistant body and cover. Easy connections requiring no soldering or screw connections using a slip on "Spade" connector that crimps onto the wire that you have to supply.

Wire is silver. And wire size is actually 4 AWG with thick insulation making look like 0 AWG.

I believe it is stranded copper. I can't see it, but it doesn't feel as stiff as solid copper usually does, so I would think it is stranded.

The wire that I received was copper. This is a good question and I didn't think to ask it until after I placed my order. But the wire is copper and a good quality.

my impression is that it is a pure copper mesh if you are concerned about rust stains. My installation has been exposed to weather (roof & chimney to keep out flying squirrels) & there is no corrosion after three years.

connection wires are made of copper but metal strips are made of one copper and other steel!!
