Wire and Cable

When trying to decide on the best wire and cable for your home or other establishment, you should consider at least two primary factors. These two factors involve the size of the wire and cable and which wire and cable is safe to use with the electrical wiring in the building. Depending on which kind of appliance you are choosing the wire and cable for, you may require either a smaller or larger wire and cable. For example, a large electrical heater may require a 6-gauge wire and cable. Common kitchen appliances will require a 12-gauge wire and cable.

Generally, the more electricity that an object uses, the larger the gauge it will require. If you are unsure about your electrical wiring capabilities, be certain to call a licensed electrician to answer all of your questions in order to prevent a possible accident. In order to correctly choose which size of wire and cable to use, carefully review the wire and cable gauge system. Generally, as the wire and cable gauge gets smaller, the ampacity increases.
