  2. Understanding your home's electrical wiring can make any project you're working on around the house easier. When you're installing new wiring and need to know what kind of wire to use, searching for electrical issues in your home (for example, knowing the circuit that wiring belongs to can help you determine the cause of an issue), doing any electrical repairs, or remodelling, you need to be aware of the different types of electrical wire. 1. Non-Metallic Cable: Non-metallic, or NM, cable is the most typical type of wire used in homes. NM cable typically has three or more separate conductors. Those conductors are encased in sheathing, a flexible plastic jacket.

  3. 2. Armoured Cable: Metal sheathing that is flexible has been used to create AC wiring. The conductors within are further protected by this. Similar to NM cables, AC cannot be used in residential or commercial structures taller than three storeys. 3. Underground Feeder Cable: An underground feeder, or UF, cable is used to run wire underground or to outdoor projects. In addition to being non-metallic, this kind of electrical line can be laid underground without a conduit. 4. Low-Voltage Wiring: Low-voltage wire can be used for circuits that require less than 50 volts. Items that don't require a lot of electricity are used with this kind of house electrical line. This covers the majority of thermostats, doorbells, and outdoor lighting.

  4. 5. Data Wire: Landline wires can also be used for an internet connection. Low- voltage lines are utilised by both your phone and the internet. Four to eight wires may be present in your data and telephone lines. These are the five most common types of wire cables that you will find in any house.
