Questions & Answers
Can this be used to provide a ground to ungrounded recepticals in an old house (residential) without conduit? I.e., run along the 12-2 house wiring from the box to each receptical?
Please consult with the local electrician in your area for electrical codes. You can also visit our website www.Cerrowire.com for additional product information.
Would there be an issue with something that draws 1000 watts?
This 12-gauge THHN wire is rated for 30 amps at 600 volts. A device drawing 1000 watts at 120 volts would require approximately 8.3 amps (Watts / Volts = Amps). This is well within the wire's capacity, so there should be no issue. However, it's always recommended to consult a qualified electrician to ensure proper and safe installation for any electrical project.
question for professionals- why would you buy this as opposed to 12/2 or 12/3? I cant find much information on 12/1 online. i get the amperage, but do i need to put multiple rolls of this together to wire anything?
To run a typical 120 volt, 20 amp circuit, you would run three colors of this wire, usually black (for hot), white (for neutral) and green ( for ground) inside of EMT conduit. 12/2 is Romex which has the three wires encased in sheathing, no EMT needed.
NM-B cable (Romex), the most common wire used in residences, is rated for dry locations only. This wire can be combined with additional single wires of varied colors – run within a conduit – for circuits located in either wet or dry locations.
How many strands are in the cable?
Is this wire rated for DC? Can I use this for a solar panel?
I've been using it to connect my solar panels to the controller for almost a year and I haven't had any problems.
Please check with your local electrician for codes in your area.

Can this be used for wiring an O-27 or O-31 model train layout? Does it matter what wire is used for hot and which is ground wire (i.e: red vs. black)?
For wiring a train layout it seems a bit large but it's really OK. For DC trains, color doesn't matter. There is no grounding wire
no manuals
The best course would be to verify the application with a licensed electrical professional.
