At what voltage do you need to use double locknuts on Rigid Metal Conduit?

There are no voltage regulations. A rigid conduit system used two locknuts and one bushing at every connection to a junction box unless the box has a hub. One outside the box and the other locknut inside the box. These are tightened against each other to make the connection secure and to scratch the paint on the outside of the box to make continuity of the metallic system. Continuity of the system is a must as this is the return path for any short circuit that might occur. Rigid connections to fittings require no locknuts as the conduit's threaded end screws into the fitting.

What can increase the voltage difference between a metal electrode and a solution?
If electrons are left behind in metal this will increase the voltage difference between a metal electrode and a solution. Also if the solution becomes more positive this will cause an increase.
What is T1.25AL fuse means in terms of voltage and current rating?
Most `T' fuses are rated in either 125 volt or 250 volts A.C. If you look at the metal end cap on one of the ends, it'll specify which voltage it's rated. The 1.25, is 1.25 amps at the rated voltage.
A electric heater works by passing a current of 100 A through a coiled metal wire making it red hot if the resistance of the wire is 1.1 ohms what voltage must be applied to it?
Volts = Amps * ohms 110 = 100*1.1 Thus the voltage was 110 Volts.
A metal resistor has a voltage of 12Voltage across it and a current of 2Amperes through it what is the resistance?
According to Ohms law, which states that Resistance (R) = Voltage (V) / Current (I) 6 Ohms
How can stray voltage wires be misinterpreted?
Ungrounded wires which are not connected to any electrical source can have a voltage due to the influence of electric fields. Electric fields, through capacitive coupling, will give rise to voltages on ungrounded metal parts. The electric fields from nearby power lines or electronic lighting ballasts form a kind of ad-hoc capacitor with the ungrounded metal which gives rise to a voltage measurable with a high impedance voltmeter. (Low impedance analog voltmeters will not read this voltage because the voltage has no current source and so the voltage collapses to zero when placed in parallel with a low impedance.) Voltage from capacitive coupling is commonly encountered by electricians when a spare set of wires is run adjacent to a live circuit and may be referred to as "phantom voltage." When using a high impedance meter, the placement of a shunt resistor in parallel with the test leads will bleed off capacitively coupled voltage and give an accurate measurement. Capacitively coupled voltages do not present a shock hazard except in unusual cases involving extremely high fields in specific industrial environments.
What are electrical conduit fittings used for?
An electrical conduit is a tube used to protect and route electrical wiring in a building or nonbuilding structure. Electrical conduit may be made of metal, plastic, fiber, or fired clay. Most conduit is rigid, but flexible conduit is used for some purposes.
Does the metal conduit count as a ground?
No, each conduit must contain a separate grounding conductor.
What is metallic conduit?
Metalic conduit is a metal tube that is used to shield wiring from damage, water contamination, contact with people. As opposed to plastic conduit.
Is it better to use metal or pvc conduit?
PVC conduit is better then metal as it won't corrod under ground and theres less of a chance of electrical shortages.
What happens when you drop a magnetic object through a metal conduit?
It will induce a slight (as in negligible and unnoticeable) current in the conduit.
Why should phase and neutral wire be put together in the metal conduit?
to prevent live conduit in case of short circuit
What is the voltage of the metal crossbar?
The Voltage of a metal crossbar is 13,000v.
What is the minimum burial depth of ridged metal conduit below a residential driveway?
The minimum cover requirements for direct buried conduits in vehicular areas is governed by the voltage in the conduit. Under 750 volts 600 mm (24 inches), over 750 volts 1000 mm (36 inches).
Is it permitted to use flexible metal conduit over 6 ft in length as a grounding means?
is it permitted to use flexible metal conduit over 6 ft in length as a grounding means
What does a 10 foot rigid metal conduit weigh?
depends on size....
Can you run electrical along a metal fence?
Yes, as long as it is in a plastic conduit.
What is RSC in electrical?
In electrical terms it represents Rigid Steel Conduit. It is also known as Rigid Metal Conduit (RMC).This is not to be confused with Electrical Metallic Tubing (EMT) also known in the trade as thin wall conduit.
