title: Conductors and Cables
category: Electrical
description: >
When to use: Building wire and cable for power, lighting, branch circuit, and feeder applications rated 600V and below in commercial, institutional, and industrial buildings. Covers single conductors installed in raceways and cable tray, Type MC metal-clad cable, and Type AC armored cable; conductor materials (copper and aluminum); insulation types (THHN/THWN-2, XHHW-2, RHW-2, USE-2); ampacity selection and derating; voltage drop; color coding and conductor identification; splicing, connectors, and terminations; pulling and installation; insulation resistance testing; and field acceptance.
− Not intended for: Grounding electrode conductors and equipment grounding conductors (see [[sync/grounding-and-bonding]]); raceway installation, support, and fill (see [[sync/raceways-and-conduit]]); service-entrance conductors and metering equipment; medium-voltage (above 600V) shielded cable systems, which are specified separately; motor control wiring, low-voltage control circuits, and instrumentation cable below 50V; communications, data, and low-voltage signal wiring; switchgear and switchboard internal wiring (see [[sync/low-voltage-switchgear]]); panelboard internal wiring (see [[sync/panelboards]]).
