Romex Cable, a brief description:

House wiring cable known as romex cable comes in a variety of sizes and combination's. I am just going to cover a few basics for choosing the proper romex cable for use on circuits that I discuss on this website.

Conductors
Conductor is the term used for wires that are in a cable. For example a 3 conductor romex cable has 3 separate wires inside the cable. The wires insulation are typically color coded for the sole purpose of identifying one wire from another. Now in residential wiring, it's very common that one of those wires is just a bare copper wire with paper sheathing around it for protection as well as isolation from the other wires. This wire is used as a ground wire and is typically not counted as a conductor since most residential wiring calls for a ground wire at all times.

Sizing
The conductors inside the cable come in a variety of sizes. The purpose of this is due to the amount of current which has to travel through the conductor in order to operate the load. For example, a circuit operating a single light bulb will only carry a small amount of current because the light bulb only draws 1/2 an amp. But if that same circuit were to operate 100 light bulbs, now that circuit needs to carry 50 amps current. This would require a larger conductor size to handle the heat that is created. Therefore proper wire sizing is critical.
