Home electrical wire refers to the cables used to carry electricity throughout a house.

The most common types are: 14/2 Romex (NM-B): for 15-amp lighting and outlet circuits. 12/2 Romex (NM-B): for 20-amp general-purpose or kitchen/bath outlets. 10/2 or 10/3 Romex: for 30-amp appliances like dryers or water heaters. 8/3 or 6/3: for larger 40–50 amp appliances, such as ranges.

Each cable contains hot, neutral, and ground wires and must match the breaker size and load it serves, as specified by electrical code.
