Understand The Types of Available Wire
There are four basic types of wire: solid-core, stranded, braided, and prefused. Having a good understanding of their construction helps when considering the best wiring for your DIY project. Also, be sure to familiarize yourself with current, voltage, wattage, and amperage, too.
 
Understand the Wire Gauge
The gauge of the wire can be confusing. This is because the higher the wire gauge, the thinner the wire is, so it's a bit backwards of what you'd expect. Another important thing about wiring to understand is that you never want to push your wiring amps to their maximum. Try and stay around 80%.
 
Understand the Numbers Printed on the Wiring
The numbers on the wiring are not just there for looks; these numbers are standard, so every wire should have these numbers and mean the same thing. You'll notice a temperature, which is the max temperature a wiring can handle before melting, and other numbers, too.
 
Understand the Colors of the Wiring
If you've worked with wiring enough, you would have noticed wiring comes in different colors. One of the confounding facts about wiring is that wiring made in different countries come in different colors, so be sure you know where your wiring came from before using.Â
