I have a couple of question that I'm hoping someone can answer, any response will be greatly appreciated.
1. It states in the code book that type nm ROMEX® run thru floors is to be protected by conduit for a distance of 6" above the floor. Are they talking about in an open floor outside of the stud wall? I thought ROMEX® inside a stud wall can run unprotected thru the sub floor and bottom plate.
2. I have a 200 amp panel mounted on the wall of a garage. I cut out a 1/2" plywood board and put it around the panel. My ROMEX® (14-2, 12-2, 10-2 and 3)is coming down from the attic and I plan to fasten it to the plywood. My question is: is this an appropriate method of wiring the runs back to the panel? I guess what I'm concerned about is the unprotected ROMEX® from the ceiling to the panel, but I have seen this on other installation whether correct or not.
Thanks
