@mclinnguy, If you want to install NM sheathed cable, (Romex Trade Name), you should use 2 conductor with ground, not 3 conductor with ground.
Better. than 2 wire with ground Romex cable.
Two conductor plus 1 ground MC (Metal Clad) is a good choice for Non-Isolated Ground A/V systems. MC cable contains a safety
grounding conductor (wire). The three conductors in the MC cable (Line, Neutral and Ground) are uniformly twisted, reducing both
induced voltages on the ground wire and radiated AC magnetic fields. The NEC article 250.118 (10)a prohibits the use of this cable for
isolated ground circuits because the metal jacket is not considered a grounding conductor, and it is not rated for fault current
.
Better than 3 conductor with ground Romex, but not as good as Two conductor plus 1 ground MC (Metal Clad)
Two Conductor plus 2 ground MC (Metal Clad) may be used in an Isolated Ground installation, because the cable contains two
grounding conductors (one for safety ground and one for isolated ground).
The conductors are twisted, but the average proximity of the
hot conductor and the neutral conductor with respect to the isolated grounding conductor is not equal. Under load, this will induce a voltage along the length of the isolated ground wire, partially defeating the intent of isolation (see Ground Voltage Induction section of this paper).
From page 12
Same problem exists with 3 conductor with ground Romex cable.Three is company. Four is a crowd. What do you do with the bare unused wire? Just tape it off? It will act as an antenna.
Something else to consider using 3 wire with ground Romex, a lot of it sold now days is flat, not round spiral twisted. Unused conductor is a problem.
10/3 Romex
The black insulated conductor is the oddball. What will you do with it?
