Applications of 10/3 NM-B:
Type NM-B Copper Building Wire is commonly applied in residential building wiring and branch circuits for switches and outlets. wire is for dry indoor applications. 10/3 can also be used for various building purposes inside (the temperature should not exceed 90 °C).10/3 NM-B electrical wire can be used in air voids in tile walls. The voltage rating of the 10 Gauge is 600 volts. The 10/3 electrical wire is easily installed because it is specifically designed for easier pulling.
The range of NM-B applications includes:
- Residential electric systems, including lights, switches, and outlets.
- Branch circuits
- Small appliances, including microwave ovens, dishwashers, and garbage disposals
- HVAC systems
- In Air Void Applications of Tile Walls
- The applications of NM-B are specified in Article 334 of NEC
10/3 wire has two hot conductors. This arrangement allows for 240V circuits or 120/240V circuits that require up to 30 amps. It’s often used for larger appliances like electric dryers, electric ranges, and large air conditioning units that require both 120 and 240 volts.The particular applications of NM-B in size 10/3 rated 30 Amps include:
- Electric Dryers
- Electric Ranges and Ovens
- HVAC Units
- Sub-panels
- Hot Water Heaters
10/3 NM-B Standards:
- ASTM B-3 and B-8
- UL Standard 83
- UL Standard 719
- Federal Specification A-A-59544
- National Electrical Code, NFPA 70. 2011 Edition
- RoHS/ REACH
10/3 NM-B Construction:
Conductors:
The 10/3 NM-B wire cable has 3 conductors with a bare ground wire. The conductors are made of soft Solid bare annealed copper.
Insulation:
The 10/3 cable has a polyvinyl chloride (PVC) insulation, making it perfect for harsh conditions.
Jacket:
PVC jacket comes in yellow, orange, white, and black colors.

APPLICATIONS
Type NM-B (nonmetallic-sheathed cable) may be used for both exposed and concealed work in normally dry locations at temperatures not to exceed 90°C (with ampacity limited to that for 60°C conductors) as specified in the 2011 National Electrical Code. NM-B cable is primarily used in residential wiring as branch circuits for outlets, switches, and other loads. NM-B cable may be run in air voids of masonry block or tile walls where such walls are not wet or damp locations. Voltage rating for NM-B cable is 600 volts.
SPECIFICATIONS
- ASTM B-3 and B-8
- UL Standard 83
- UL Standard 719
- Federal Specification A-A-59544
- National Electrical Code, NFPA 70. 2011 Edition
- RoHS/ REACH
CONSTRUCTION
Type NM-B cable is manufactured as 2, 3, or 4 conductor cable, with a bare ground wire. Copper conductors are annealed (soft) copper. Solid conductors are compressed Solid. Conductor insulation is 90°C-rated polyvinyl chloride (PVC), nylon jacketed. Type NM-B is designed for Easier Pulling, Resulting in Easier installation. The cable jacket is color-coded for quick size identification; White – 14 AWG, Yellow – 12 AWG, Orange – 10 AWG, and Black – 8 AWG and 6 AWG.
