NMB wire is a type of electrical cable commonly used in residential wiring. It consists of two or more insulated wires bundled together with a bare copper ground wire. NMB wire is designed for use in dry locations and is often used for powering outlets, switches, and lighting fixtures in homes.
Cable cords can be purchased in almost any color. Different colors can be used to differentiate between the various uses of the cable. The user can determine which color they would like to use.
Most local codes require that when extending or adding circuits, the circuit must be brought up to national code standards. This would necessitate that if you have a 2 wire circuit and are adding to it, that you rewire the entire circuit to 3 wires. However, in actual practice, it is common to see 3 wire nmb connected to 2 wire nmb without full re-wiring. It is important to note that when this happens, the ground wire in the 3 wire cable serves no purpose. You end up with what looks like a 3 wire grounding configuration at a receptacle or other outlet when in actuality you have no equipment ground. This allows a hazard to exist that no longer conforms to current code, and if someone were to be injured you may be held liable.
