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 .


Do you have to run wiring in conduit if its in the ground?

Wire in conduit for underground feeders has to have an insulationrating for wet and damp locations. In the marketplace there is also wiring thathas an insulation rating for direct burial that does not need to be installed into conduit.


Do you need a mast to run aerial wire from a garage with a 100 amp fuse box to an office trailer?

Yes, it must have a standoff, and the proper service head in. I would run it underground instead of overhead. Use underground wire in a conduit.


Why 2 different phase wire are not supposed to pass through same conduit?

According to the wording ,2 different phase wires "can" run through the same conduit. Not only can they, but if they are part of the same circuit they must. And in cases where conductors are paralleled, meaning more than one conductor per phase as is common in commercial and industrial installations, you put one conductor of each phase and a neutral, if one exists, and a ground in each conduit. Not doing so, meaning to put all of one phase in one conduit, causes a voltage to be induced into the conduit and a tremendous amount of heat builds up. Even when using pvc or other non-metallic conduit, somewhere along the way you have something metallic and have the same problem. To simplify, you must put all conductors associated with the same circuit in the same conduit.

What is Galvanized rigid conduit is coated with?

Galvanized rigid conduit is coated with a layer of zinc to provide protection against corrosion. This coating helps to extend the lifespan of the conduit when used in outdoor or corrosive environments.


Which conduit is best - PVC or MS conduit?

For underground conduit runs, PVC is by far the better of the two conduit systems.


Can galvanized conduit be chrome plated?

Simply put, no. The long answer: The process of chrome plating involves the chromium actually bonding to the metal substrate through an entergetic reaction. Galvanizing metal introduces a layer of zinc oxide into the mix which would contaminate the plating process. The chrome would actually split bond to the zinc and possibly somewhat to the substrate. This would cause the zinc to lose its bond with the metal substrate. If it all stayed intact the part would, at first, appear to be chrome plated, but due to the zinc oxide contamination it will flake off easily. I hope this is a sufficient answer to your query.

Can you use PVC conduit underground?

Yes, PVC conduit can be used underground for electrical wiring. It is a common choice due to its durability, resistance to corrosion, and affordability. Make sure to choose the correct type and size of PVC conduit that is rated for burial to ensure safety and compliance with electrical codes.


What is steel conduit?

Usually in the industry, we call it metal conduits. Metallic conduit is stronger, more durable, and more fire-resistant than non-metallic conduit. It is often used in industrial, commercial, and hazardous environments. Which included, Rigid Metal Conduit(RMC) Electrical Metallic Tubing (EMT) Intermediate Metal Conduit (IMC) Galvanized Rigid Conduit (GRC) Flexible Metal Conduit (FMC) Liquid-tight Flexible Metal Conduit (LFMC) Hope it works.


Can you run Ethernet out doors or should it be incased in conduit?

The outer casing of an Ethernet cable does not have a UV rating and will deteriorate under the summer sun. Pull the cable into a conduit and if possible bury the conduit underground. This will give you a safe and secure link.
