Question:
Can I use a 3 wire w/ground and only use 2 wires (Black and White) w/ground from the panel board to receptacles as long as I cut off the red conductor at the panel board and wire nut the red at the receptacle? This is a residence. Thanks.

Answer:
Hey Ken thanks for your question. Yes. You don't have to cut off the red wire or insulate either end, but that is not a bad idea, and it doesn't matter that it is a residence.
