How to choose Electrical Wire?
2

• It is important to select correct electric wire
  and its benefits and features like amps,
  temperatures, gauge and color as well before
  taking final decision.

3

• Learn the identification process of wires! The
  marking on the protective insulation that is
  covered around tells the type of the wires inside
  it. For instance, the 14-gauge wires of two
  individual types will have marking of 14-2-G
  and the 3rd wire is used for the purpose of
  grounding.

• First of all, you need to determine the energy
  load that the wire will carry. The gauge and
  thickness should be determined as per the load of
  the wire. The heavy wires carry heavy loads,
  while, lower energy is carried by thin wire. So,
  more amps can be carried by thicker wire only.
  According to Kompass India Information Pvt. Ltd,
  the 14G wire should be used for up to 15 amps
  only and 12G wires should be used within 20amps.
  The 10G wire is capable of carrying within 30
  amps. The 18-gauge wire is used for the low
  application.

• It is extremely important to know the specific
  application, since you cannot use the indoor
  wires in outdoor application. There is a great
  difference between the underground and
  above-ground wire. That is why the user should
  have thorough knowledge on where to and how to
  install as it is not interchangeable.

6

• There should be a difference in the colors of the
  wire since it will be easier for the user to
  install the products without any danger. The
  color difference also can help category wise.
  White wires are considered to be neutral and used
  to transfer excessive energy to the electric
  power to the panel. The black electric wires are
  said to be hot and it is basically used to pull
  power from the panel. The green wires are used
  for the purpose of grounding, while colorful are
  for identifying circuits.

7

• You need to evaluate installation requirements.
  The solid and strong wires are more reliable than
  standard wire. Of course, the solid wires are
  strong and stiff which makes it difficult to
  install for the user. The standard one is easier
  to install.

8

• There various resources for opting the material.
  The copper metal is accepted to be the superior
  conductor for the electricity. It is extremely
  popular for the purpose of wiring. The wire made
  of copper is very expensive. That is why the
  house owner buys the wire made of aluminum coated
  with copper. Though it is cheaper, yet it is not
  recommended for all the purposes.
