12/3 NM-B Wire 

12/3 NM-B wire is a versatile and reliable electrical cable designed for various residential and commercial applications. It features a 250-foot length and is characterized by its 347-mil outer diameter, providing robust protection and durability. The wire is constructed with soft-annealed copper conductors, ensuring excellent electrical conductivity and flexibility.

This cable is approved under UL 83/719 standards, guaranteeing its compliance with rigorous safety and performance criteria. It is rated for 600 volts, making it suitable for a wide range of electrical systems. The 20-amp current rating ensures it can handle substantial electrical loads, while the 90°C temperature rating allows it to operate safely in high-temperature environments.

Weighing 107 pounds per 1000 feet, this wire is designed to be both durable and manageable. The PVC insulation material provides effective protection against moisture and abrasion, enhancing the cable's longevity and reliability. With three conductors, the 12/3 NM-B wire is ideal for use in various wiring configurations, including general-purpose and branch circuit installations.

FAQ

 

Q: How many amps will 12/3 wire carry?

A: In Residential Applications: The 12/3 NM-B wire is usually rated to carry up to 20 amps. This is based on the standard 60°C (140°F) temperature rating for the conductors, which is common for residential NM-B wiring.

Q: What is the difference between Romex UF-B and NM-B?

A: 

NM-B (Non-Metallic Sheathed Cable):
Insulation: NM-B cables are typically insulated with PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) and have a non-metallic sheath. The conductors inside NM-B cables are often made of soft-annealed copper.
Application: NM-B cables are designed for indoor use and are suitable for dry locations. They are commonly used for residential wiring, including for lighting, outlets, and other general-purpose circuits.

UF-B (Underground Feeder Cable):
Insulation: UF-B cables are constructed with a thicker, more rugged PVC insulation and have a solid outer jacket. This makes them more resistant to moisture, abrasion, and environmental damage compared to NM-B cables.
Application: UF-B cables are designed for direct burial in the ground and are used for outdoor installations where the cable may be exposed to moisture or other environmental conditions. They are suitable for applications such as powering outdoor lights, landscape lighting, and other outdoor circuits.

Q: Is NMB the same as Romex?

A: Yes, they are same.
