[short]
12-2/2 W/GRND NM-B 600V Solid Yellow
Allowable Ampacity for 12-2/2 W/GRND NM-B: 20 Amps
Applications:
Type NM-B Copper Building Wire is commonly applied in residential building wiring as a branch circuit for switches and outlets. It can also be used for various building purposes, both inside and outside (the temperature should not exceed 90 °C). NM-B electrical wire can be used in air voids in tile walls. The voltage rating of the cable is 600 volts. The electrical wire is easily installed because it is specifically designed for easier pulling.

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.

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.
