What must each section of a manufactured wiring system identify?

Voltage ratings
Manufacturer details
Type of cable or conduit
Installation date

The correct answer is: Type of cable or conduit

In a manufactured wiring system, identifying the type of cable or conduit used is crucial for several reasons. The type of cable or conduit directly impacts the system's safety, performance, and compliance with electrical codes and standards. Different types of wiring have specific characteristics, such as current-carrying capacity, environmental resistance, and installation requirements. For example, certain cables are designed for use in wet locations, while others may be better suited for dry environments. By clearly indicating the type of cable or conduit, it ensures that installers and inspectors can verify that the correct materials are being used, which helps to prevent electrical hazards and ensure reliable operation. The identification of voltage ratings, manufacturer details, and installation dates are also important but more focused on safety compliance and tracking rather than the operational fit of the cables within a manufactured wiring system. Thus, identifying the type of cable or conduit is a foundational requirement for safety and effectiveness in electrical installations.
