  • Our take on the 10/3 NM-B Wire w/ Ground

    10/3 NM-B is non-metallic sheathed cable with three 10 AWG solid copper conductors plus a bare ground, for dry indoor branch circuits. The conductors are PVC-insulated with a nylon jacket rated 90°C, but the NEC caps ampacity at the 60°C column, so it is a 30-amp cable. It suits 240-volt residential runs such as dryers, ranges, water heaters and subpanels, where 10/3 gives you two hots, a neutral and a ground. It is stiffer and harder to pull than 12/2 or 14/2, and it cannot go in wet locations or exposed outdoor runs without protection.

    Pros
    • Three insulated 10 AWG conductors plus bare ground
    • Solid copper per ASTM B3, lead-free and RoHS compliant
    • Meets UL 83, UL 719 and Federal A-A-59544
    • Nylon-jacketed THHN-type insulation resists abrasion
    • Rated 600 volts, common in residential panels
    Cons
    • Ampacity limited to the 60°C column, so 30 amps max
    • Stiff 10 AWG solid wire is hard to pull through bends
    • Not for wet or damp locations

    About the 10/3 NM-B Wire w/ Ground

    This is 10/3 Type NM-B non-metallic sheathed cable with ground, also known as Romex. It is used in normally dry residential installations as branch-circuit wiring for outlets, lighting and other residential loads. Its applications are outlined in NEC 2008 and NEC 2011 Article 334.

    The cable has three solid annealed soft bare copper conductors plus a bare copper ground. Each conductor is insulated with color-coded PVC under a nylon covering that meets the thickness required for Type THHN. A 30 mil color-coded PVC sheath goes over the completed assembly.

    The cable is rated at 600 volts. Its conductor temperature rating is 90°C dry, but its ampacity is limited to 60°C under NEC 2008 and NEC 2011. It may be fished through masonry or tile walls where it is not exposed or subject to excessive moisture or dampness. It is lead free and RoHS compliant.

    Questions and answers

    What is 10/3 NM-B used for?
    Dry indoor branch circuits needing two hots, a neutral and a ground: electric dryers, ranges, water heaters and 30-amp subpanel feeds. It is not for wet or damp locations.
    How many amps can 10/3 NM-B carry?
    30 amps. The conductors are rated 90°C, but the NEC limits NM-B ampacity to the 60°C column, which caps 10 AWG copper at 30 amps.
    What is the difference between 10/2 and 10/3?
    10/2 has two insulated conductors plus ground; 10/3 adds a third insulated conductor, usually the neutral, for 240-volt circuits that need a neutral such as dryers and ranges.
    Can 10/3 NM-B be used outdoors?
    No. NM-B is for normally dry installations. Outdoor runs need wet-location-rated cable or conduit protection.
    Is this wire copper or aluminum?
    Solid annealed bare copper conductors per ASTM B3, with a bare copper ground. It is lead-free and RoHS compliant.
    Does 10/3 NM-B meet code?
    It meets UL 83, UL 719 and Federal Specification A-A-59544 and is covered by NEC Article 334. Local code and inspection still govern the installation.
    Where is the 10/3 NM-B Wire w/ Ground cheapest?
    At Global Cable and Wire, for $2.13, as of our latest check.
