Although NMWU is similar in appearance to NMD, it is in fact quite different. This wire has very thick PVC insulation on the individual conductors, and is then covered with a thick PVC jacket making it suitable for direct burial. It is a very good cable to use for supplying a garage, garden shed or lawn lights. The #2 gauge and larger is suitable for 100 amps. NMWU can be used in wet locations, and in barns and other animal enclosures where not exposed to mechanical injury. |
