um... I don't know what those are, because that book I have is for a Philippine basic curriculum which isn't in America Standard..
Allright, since we're talking about wiring, we'll start with WIRE..
14/2 is the most common, the #14 denotes the guage of the wire, it has the ability to carry 15 amps of power, although in Canada, you're only allowed to load any circuit or device to 80% of it's value, which means the 14/2 is allowed 12 amps maximum load. The 2 denotes conductor amount, you have a white (neutral wire) and a line wire(the power in black). There is also a bare copper 14 AWG (American Wire Guage) wire in the 14/2 cable. The sheath comes in many forms from house wiring to direct burial to armoured to ship building. NMD-7 is a standard household wire and the only one you need for the project.
