ECN Forum Forums General Topics of the Trade General Discussion Area Romex and Extension Cords

Romex wicks up moisture. That's a real threat to users of temp power -- where you can just bet that it's an issue.

Romex is acceptable as temp power conductors if and only if it is treated as Romex and not SO cord, etc. That means NMC if water is an issue.

Dragging Romex around like it's SOJ... sheesh -- pure trouble.
