Q2: What is Type NM-B wire used for?

A: Type NM-B (Non-Metallic Sheathed Cable) is commonly used for residential wiring of luminaries, devices and appliances. Type NM-B ampacity limitation shall be in accordance with the 60ºC conductor temperature rating, as specified in the NEC.

 

Q3: What is the maximum voltage for NM-B wire?

A:

600 Volts

NM-B is rated at 600 Volts and although is is rated at a conductor temperature of 90 Degrees Celcius dry, it's ampacity is limited to 60 Degrees Celcius. It may be fished through masonry or tile walls, where not exposed or subject to excessive moisture or dampness. NM-B cables are Lead Free and RoHS compliant.

 

Q4: Can nm-b wire be used outdoors in conduit?

A: No, Type NM cable cannot be installed outside, regardless of the wiring method enclosing it. The installation is a damp or wet location. Reference: 334.12(B)(4) not permitted in a wet or damp location, 300.9 Raceways in Wet Locations Above Grade.

 

Q5: What temperature is NMB rated for?

A: The 1984 NEC required the temperature rating of Type NM Cable to be increased from 60ºC to 90ºC, to take into account the increased use of thermal insulation in dwellings. The 90ºC cable is identified as Type NM-B.
