Hello everyone,
Our large machine requires internal wiring for lights and receptacles (Nema 5-15, L6-20, L15-20) connected to an internal 3-phase load center. This machine is wired for European standards at 400V/230V 3-phase, and we need to convert it to the US market.
I'm considering using THHN (tray cable wiring) since NM-B doesn't have the necessary temperature rating or flexibility. However, I've noticed that THHN doesn't adhere to the NEC color code for connecting to the load center (specifically a Schneider QO320L125S0 3-phase 125Amp).
My questions are:
BTW I'm not an electrician.
Thanks in advance for your assistance!

My questions are:
- Will there be any issues with using wires that don't comply with the NEC color code when connecting to the load center?
- If so, will I need to remark each wire?

Thanks in advance for your assistance!
