6/2 NM-B Applications:

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. 6/2 can also be used for various building purposes inside (the temperature should not exceed 90 C). 6/2 NM-B electrical wire can be used in air voids in tile walls. The voltage rating of is 600 volts. The 6/2 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

The particular applications of NM-B in size 6/2 rated 55 Amps include:

• Electric Range/Cooktop/Stove
• Electric Water Heaters
• Central Air Conditioners
• Hot Tubs or Spas
• Larger Sub-Panels

6/2 NM-BStandards:

• ASTM B-3 and B-8
• UL Standard 83
• UL Standard 719

APPLICATIONS

Type NM-B (nonmetallic-sheathed cable) may be used for both exposedand concealed work in normally dry locations at temperatures not to exceed 90C (with ampacity limitedto that for 60C conductors) as specified in the 2011 National Electrical Code. NM-B cable is primarilyused in residential wiring as branch circuits for outlets, switches, and other loads. NM-B cable may berun in air voids of masonry block or tile walls where such walls are not wet or damp locations. Voltagerating for NM-B cable is 600 volts.

  CONSTRUCTION

  Type NM-B cable is manufactured as 2, 3, or 4 conAductor cable, with abare ground wire. Copper conductors are annealed (soft) copper. Stranded conductors are compressedstranded. Conductor insulation is 90C-rated polyvinyl chloride (PVC), nylon jacketed. Type NM-B is designed for Easier Pulling, Resulting in Easier installation. The cablejacket is color-coded for quick size identification; White – 14 AWG, Yellow – 12 AWG, Orange – 10 AWG,and Black – 8 AWG and 6 AWG.
