When to use what cable?
In what instances would you use a 3-wire vs. a 2-wire with ground for instance. No specific application, just wondering.
Thanks!

Two wire (plus ground) for most 120 volt applications and 240 volt applications.
Three wire plus ground for 120 volt multi wire circuits, 120/240 volt circuits, and for special circumstances of 120 volt wiring (three way switches, runs requiring switched and unswitched power, etc.).
There are probably things I missed. I just did this quick.
