What type of cable is recommended for damp locations?

The recommended type of cable for damp locations is XHH. This cable type is designed to withstand moisture and can be used in various applications that involve exposure to elements or harsh environments. XHH cables are constructed with materials that provide good resistance to water and have excellent insulation properties. This makes them suitable for areas where condensation or water contact may occur, ensuring safety and reliability in electrical installations.

In contrast, NM (Non-Metallic Sheathed Cable) is generally not suitable for damp or wet locations as it can absorb moisture and may degrade over time. MC (Metal-Clad Cable) can be used in some applications but is not specifically rated for wet or damp conditions like XHH. UF (Underground Feeder Cable) is designed for direct burial outdoors but may not be optimal for applications involving continuous exposure to moisture, making XHH the ideal choice for damp locations.
