For outdoor overhead applications, it is recommended to use weather-resistant wires such as thermoplastic high heat-resistant nylon-coated wires or aluminum conductor steel-reinforced (ACSR) wires. These wires are designed to withstand harsh weather conditions and provide durability and longevity when exposed to outdoor elements. Be sure to consult with local building codes and regulations for specific requirements in your area.
