Wires to outlets are called __________.

The term that refers to wires connected to outlets is branch circuit conductors. These conductors are responsible for distributing electrical power from a circuit breaker panel to various outlets, fixtures, and devices within a structure. They are a critical part of the electrical system, as they carry the electricity used in day-to-day activities and ensure that power is delivered safely and efficiently to each outlet.

Feeder wires typically refer to conductors that carry power from a larger service to a sub-panel or distribution point, rather than directly to outlets. Main conductors are the primary wires that supply power to an electrical service and do not specifically pertain to outlets. Service wires are those that connect the utility supply to the building's main distribution panel and likewise do not serve the outlets directly. Thus, branch circuit conductors is the appropriate term for the wires connecting directly to the outlets.
