Tip: Typical use is 30 A two-wire 240 V loads such as electric water heaters and 240 V baseboard heat. Keep the inner bend radius at a minimum of 5x the cable diameter (about 2.5" here) so the jacket and insulation are not damaged. The individual conductors inside NM-B are not listed or marked as THHN and may not be installed apart from the complete cable.
