LAB #2
Installing Non-Metallic Sheathed Cable
Objectives:
•
To understand all theory reviewed and wire a basic receptacle and lighting circuit using NMD90
cable.
•
To correctly wire a 120-volt lighting and receptacle control circuit using the provided lab
material.
Materials & Tools Required:
●
#14/2 NMD90 Cable (Romex)
●
Linesmen Pliers
●
S1 Romex Staples
●
Diagonal Pliers
●
1/2” Plastic Romex Connectors
●
Needle-nose Pliers
●
Electrical Boxes
●
Screwdrivers (Various)
●
120 V 15A Receptacles
●
Wire Strippers
●
120 V 15A Switches
●
Marrettes
●
120 V 15A Breaker
●
Deck Screws
NOTE:
Do not install any improper or damaged components. Wiring must be performed to meet
current electrical code requirements.
Installation Instructions:
•
Install NMSC from the breaker panel to the required outlet boxes.
•
Be sure to install according to the CEC rules. (i.e., points of support, correct length of wire in box).
•
Connect switch to control a lamp,
•
Connect a receptacle.
•
Connect to panel with correct size breaker.
•
Have instructor review finished connections.
•
Instructor
will then “Power On” completed circuit to allow for circuit testing.
•
Answer all questions for this lab listed below.

Questions:
State the CEC rule number if the code book is used.
1.
Would the circuit still work if you used the white wire for power and black for neutral?
2.
List another name for the identified conductor?
3.
Why are the terminals of the lamp holder colour coded?
4.
What are the distances NMSC cable need to be supported (stapled) when run between boxes
according to the CEC? Show the Code Rule.
5.
Which conductors (hot, ground or neutral) are always connected to the light switches?

Most residential general lighting circuits are wired with 14-AWG copper conductors and are protected by 15-amp circuit breakers. However, there are many electricians who install 12-AWG copper conductors and protect them with 20-amp circuit breakers. How will you know which conductor size and which circuit breaker size will be used for the general lighting branch circuits in the house you are wiring?
