Title: 110v Wiring - correct wire?
Post by: britinusa on August 22, 2015, 01:17:51 PM
Anyone got a link to the correct type of 110v wire to use on the boat?

I'm working up my Air Conditioning install.

I know that multi strand tinned wire is standard for 12v applications on the boat, but what type of cable is correct for 110v wiring?

Thanks.

Found it in Casey's Sailboat Electrics Simplified.

Paul, Marine 120 v cable is similar to typical household "Romex" cable (non-metallic sheathed cable) but the conductors are tinned, stranded Type 3 copper UL cable, rather than solid copper conductors.

How many feet and what gauge do you need?
