Is it legal to support a conduit from another conduit of the same size?
No, the conduit has to be supported individually from a supportive structure. The spacing of the strapping is related to the size of the conduit.
What size should under ground conduit be from pole to meter base?
For new 200 amp services the conduit size should be 3 inch PVC.
What is the hole size required for a 2.5 conduit?
A trade size hole for a 2-1/2" EMT conduit connector, the hole needs to be 2-7/8" in diameter. A 3" rigid conduit can also use this size hole without the lock nuts falling into the hole.
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.
What are the main principles concerning conduit bodies?
Conduit bodies are used to provide pulling access in a run of conduit, to conserve space where a full size bend radius would be impractical, to allow more bends to be made in a section of conduit or to split a conduit path into multiple directions.
When do you use a conduit bushing?
A conduit bushing is used when a conduit is terminated in a junction box or enclosure. Its purpose is to provide a smooth rounded surface so that when the wire is pulled into the conduit the insulation on the wire will not be damaged.
Is it legal to support a conduit from another conduit of the same size?
No, the conduit has to be supported individually from a supportive structure. The spacing of the strapping is related to the size of the conduit.
What size conduit for 400 amp service?
4 inch rigid conduit
What size rigid conduit for 400 amp service?
4 inch rigid conduit
What is the actual hole size for 1 inch conduit?
Actual hole size for 1 inch conduit is 1.362"
What size conduit is needed for wiring in Indian houses?
The size of conduit is based on the size of the wires in it. The size of the wires depends on the load connected in the house. Without these other two values an answer can not be given.
What size conduit for 200 amps?
120mm
What size of copper wire can carry 30 amps?
Couple of things wrong here. 30 isn't a wire size. If you mean a wire that can carry 30 amps that would be # 10. Now it depends on how many # 10 wires you want to put into a conduit that governs the size of the conduit.
What size should under ground conduit be from pole to meter base?
For new 200 amp services the conduit size should be 3 inch PVC.
What is the hole size required for a 2.5 conduit?
A trade size hole for a 2-1/2" EMT conduit connector, the hole needs to be 2-7/8" in diameter. A 3" rigid conduit can also use this size hole without the lock nuts falling into the hole.
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 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.
