What is the multiplier for 45 degree offset in conduit bending?

Back set for all conduit sizes is not the same. The greater the diameter of the conduit the length of back set increases. Without the diameter size of the conduit, an answer can not be given.


Electrical conduit length is there a tool to measuring the conduit underground?

Well yes there is its called electricians conduit measuring tool we found it on u tube . go to superconduits and watch the video .


Are ground wires required in steel or aluminum flex conduits?

Yes, any flexible conduit that has live wires drawn into it must have a ground wire also installed with the "hot" conductors. The reasoning behind this rule is that the flex in the conduit is coiled and has a long length to it. The continuation of the grounding medium through the tightness of the conduit connectors to the flex was not considered a properly secured grounding system so to overcome this weakness in the grounding system, a ground wire now has to be installed.


What is advantage and disadvantage of impedance coupling?

The term impedance coupling can be used in two ways. 1) Example, coupling a signal from the output of one stage of an amplifier, to the input of the next stage. For low power as under about 0.1 watt, RC coupling is cheap and adequate as little power is dissipated in the collector resistor of a bipolar amplifier. However at higher power levels impedance coupling is more efficient, but also more expensive. An inductor simply replaces the resistor used for RC coupling. Unlike a resistor the inductors impedance is frequency dependent. This varies the level of coupling voltage available over the amps bandwidth, and needs to be accounted for at the design stage. An advantage is that by the addition of a parallel capacitor, an LC circuit can be formed to produce the basis for a band pass amplifier. Further by providing a tapped inductor; coupling, tuning and impedance matching functions can be obtained. Transformer coupling is a form of impedance coupling and can provide galvanic isolation as well as matching. 2) Unbalanced circuits, that is those having a 'high' or 'signal' lines and a common ground,chassis or earth; have the disadvantage that undesired signal coupling can occur when the higher current signals produce small voltage drops along the common ground. To minimize these undesired voltage variations grounds on PCBs are given wide low resistance tracks. Also by not mixing analog and digital signal grounds, the adverse effects of coupling are reduced. Furthermore, at higher frequencies a narrow length of track also has inductance, and capacitance to nearby conductors. There components provide the possibility of additional undesired impedence coupling. Balanced circuits which do not have one line of any signal grounded overcome the disadvantages of the simpler unbalanced circuits.


What size conduit and aluminum wire for a 400 foot run on a 120 240 volt system?

The key parameter in sizing wire is the current requirement. Once you know that you can look up value in a wire gauge table. The length of the run is important for longer runs because of the resistance of the wire itself. Aluminum wire requires a larger diameter than copper for the same current. Once you calculate the wire size you can then size the conduit.

What is the maximum degree of bends allowed for 1 inch emt?

All conduit shall not have more than 360 degrees for it's length between either a box, cabinet, or conduit body. Couplings count as a continuation of conduit.


When do you derate wires in conduit I know the code says more than 3 current carrying conductors but is there a length of conduit run when you should start to derate?

There are two things here to keep in mind. If you are trying to add more conductors to an existing conduit run use the cross sectional area of the conduit to see if more wires can be fitted. The second thing that's relates to length is the voltage drop at the load. To size the conduit work backwards from the load amperage to size the wires. If a long distance is involved a voltage drop calculation will be needed. Then select the conduit size to accommodate the wires recommended for that load amperage. The length of conduit run is not brought into the equation on de rating wire size it is always about keeping the voltage up at the load end of the run by increasing the wire size and selecting the proper conduit size for that wire.


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.

Is it permitted to use flexible conduit over 6 feet in length as a grounding means?

No. The new electrical code change does not allow any flexible conduit to be used as a ground means. It is now required to have a green ground wire pulled into the conduit with the other conductors in the flexible conduit. This grounded bonding conductor is not counted as wire fill when calculating the size of the flexible conduit to use

Can you use PVC conduit underground?

PVC conduit is recommended for underground installations. Just remember that a ground wire equal to the maximum load current of the device connected at the other end has to be installed. This ground wire is not counted in conduit fill calculations. It has to have a green insulation in colour and be of a continuous length.
