Legal to use this wire for home wiring?
In article , Ignoramus22178 wrote:
I have a big spool of 10 gauge, 4 conductor stranded wire that is rated up to 200C. The wire is 4 conductors twisted together (no outer shell), each conductor is stranded 10 gauge. The wires are rated up to 200C. The strands are 26 gauge. My question is, would it be legal to use this wire for home wiring. All wires are brown color. Not legal, and not smart either -- if all conductors are the same color, how do you propose telling the difference between hot, neutral, and ground? Sell the spool on eBay or in your local newspaper, and use the money to buy the right wire for the job. -- Regards, Doug Miller (alphageek at milmac dot com) It's time to throw all their damned tea in the harbor again. |
