Thanks for the info.
But I would be interested in there is some other thinking behind the ground being bare. I mean I have known people in the UK say it's for safety incase a nail is driven into the cable.
Thanks, I assume it's naked like us for cost? but also the Earth/Ground is normally of a smaller size/diameter than the Live and Neutral.NM or Romex is flat for 14/2, 12/2, or 10/2 or 3 conductor. Starting at # 8 or # 6 is normally round. I still can’t understand why we have naked grounds but it’s easy to purchase shrink tubing that can be installed on the naked wire. Be sure and mark it green.
