Questions & Answers
In the 14/3 is each individual wire 14 gauge, or does all 4 wires equal 14 gauge.
Each wire is 14 AWG
Can I run a ceiling fan and light on 14/3 with ground?
2nd note: remember to consider amperage of the circuit breaker the fan is connected to. General safety, always use the same AWG throughout a circuit. Ex.: a 120V 20A circuit should be wired with 12 AGW; 15A 14AWG. **Check local codes always.**
The average amp rating for a ceiling fan can range from 0.2 to 1.5 amps, depending on the type of fan and its speed setting. 14 AWG wire it rated fro 15 amps. NOTE: Follow the ceiling fan manufacture requirements and local building codes
@Julian, #14 AWG "residential" wiring for outlets, switches and other loads
Can you use this wire to run from meter loop up into house
This ok for recessed
Yes especially if you are doing tyen on separate switches
Does this cable have 3 hot wires and a copper ground
Yes, this wire features three conductors and one copper ground.
No, it has 3 insulated conductors and bare for ground. Red black white (2 hots, 1 neutral, ground
Does it have a green wire for ground?
This has a bare ground wire. We hope that helps!
Running light in closet from new switch from existing wall plug. The breaker is 20 amp, what size wire do I need

12 gauge rated for 20A
I?m adding an electrical outlet directly behind my tv so there are no wires showing that plug in to the outlet directly 4ft under the tv itself. I?m planning to do this from that existing outlet under the tv. It?s on a 15 amp circuit. What?s best to use?
14-2 Romex copper
If you are sure this is a 15 amp circuit then using 14/2 NM cable (romex) is what you need. But, if the cord is long enough you can just cut a low voltage box beside the existing outlet and drop the plug down the wall. You can then use one of the plates from the data section that allows the cable to come out of the wall and look decent. This way you are not getting into the electrical wiring and it’s much easier and cheaper.
14/2 Romex (black,white,green) , cut in box (remodel box) single gang plastic
If the receptacle currently below the TV has 14 gauge wire going to it, use 14/2WG romex. If the existing receptacle has 12 gauge wire going to it, you MUST use 12/2WG romex. You also must "Arc-Fault Protect" the new receptacle. We do that professionally in the Electrical Trade by installing an Arc-Fault receptacle where the lower original receptacle was and connect the wires feeding the new receptacle behind the TV to the LOAD-side screw terminals on the AFCI receptacle. This will Arc-Fault-protect both receptacles.
14/2 Romex. I would not recommend buying the wire at Home Depot. They are about double the price that you will find at an electrical supply place. I’ve learned the hard way and no longer shop at Home Depot for anything.
