Can this wire be used indoors in a wall ?

Hi can I use this wire in my garage walls for my compressor? Its the right amperage I need. I know its 3 wire and I only need 2 wire.

Is it NM-B or Direct Burial? I've never come across NM-B that is direct burial rated, that would be UF.

Since it's got a black jacket I would assume it is NM-B as UF is usually gray. NM-B is perfectly fine for in wall use

What kind of wire is rated for 220V? NM cable is rated for 600V so the OP is not giving all the info.

You can use NM-B in walls. What kind of compressor do you have that calls for a 60A circuit? NM-B is not direct bury cable.

Good catch. 220V is not even a nominal utility voltage, so 220v wire wouldn't be properly rated!
