Ive heard guys say that referring to NM cable. 14/2, 12/2, 10/2, are all 2 wire.
14/3, 12/3, 10/3 are all expamples of 3 wire

This gets my vote. "Run a 2 wire cable home run to the receptacle".

More on my post.... it seems the two wires are NOT on line to the power itself but are effected by it. Does this make sense?

Is this a game? We are trying to help here, but you are trying our patience. I am not trying to be mean, but do you have a serious question?
