Standard Armored cable (AC) or Metal-clad cable (MC)

Explanation:

Standard Armored Cable (AC) or Metal-Clad Cable (MC) may be used based on the definition of words "wet or dry locations" in areas that may be temporarily exposed to the elements such as rain during construction.

Dry locations should not be confused with damp locations which are protected from these elements and water saturation or moisture. Some damp locations may include open porches, barns, under canopies, etc.

Wet locations occur in places where direct burial in the ground, in concrete, etc may occur. These are places where water or other liquid saturation is very possible, or in places that are always opened to these elements.
