This is 4/3 NM-B non-metallic sheathed cable with a ground wire. It is used in normally dry residential installations as branch circuits for outlets, lighting and other residential loads. It is equivalent to Romex NM-B, is lead free and is RoHS compliant.
Each cable has three 4 AWG conductors and an 8 AWG bare copper ground. Insulation is color-coded PVC with a nylon covering that meets the thickness required for Type THHN and is rated 90°C. A 30 mil color-coded PVC sheath rated 90°C covers the assembly.
The cable is rated at 600 volts. It is rated for a 90°C conductor temperature when 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.
