1. Stranded - standard stranded cable is the most commonly used type of wire as it is easy to work with under most circumstances and is relatively cheap.
2. Fine stranded - fine stranded cable is preferrable when working with batteries or in tight spaces as it is easier to bend and manipulate.
3. Solid - typically only used for indoor wiring. Slightly cheaper than stranded wire, but most difficult to bend and manipulate. Should not be used any larger than 10 AWG / 4 mm².
4. Bare (no insulation) - a cheap and durable option that can be used as part of a grounding system outdoors without a conduit if in a location where it will not be damaged.
