In Canada the answer is no. Triplex is an aerial rated set of conductors that are used to bring the voltage from the utilities pole to the service drop at the home. Triplex consists of two ungrounded conductors wrapped around a neutral steel supported conductor. These conductors can be used on higher current capacities due to the direct cooling of the conductors by the surrounding air. This is why you will see a service drop of number 6 conductors supplying a 100 amp service. For a three phase four wire system quadplex is used to make three phase connections to commercial and industrial services.

Does triplex wire need to be in conduit under a house?
Yes. If they are single wires they need to be in a conduit.
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.
Can you run 110 and 220 volt circuits in the same conduit?
Yes, 120 and 240 volts can be run in the same conduit.
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 .
Does triplex wire need to be in conduit under a house?
Yes. If they are single wires they need to be in a conduit.
Can 14-2 wire on a patio post be covered with white conduit?
Yes, that is fine as long as the wire does not run underground. If it does run underground you need 14-2U wire.
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.
Which conduit is best - PVC or MS conduit?
For underground conduit runs, PVC is by far the better of the two conduit systems.
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.
Can you run Romex wiring in conduit?
No, Romex wiring cannot be run in conduit as it is not designed or approved for use in 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.
What is the recommended conduit burial depth for underground electrical installations?
The recommended burial depth for underground electrical conduit installations is typically 18 inches to 24 inches deep.
What are the benefits of using flexible underground electrical conduit for wiring installations?
Using flexible underground electrical conduit for wiring installations offers several benefits. It provides protection for the wiring from physical damage, moisture, and corrosion. The flexibility of the conduit makes it easier to install in tight or curved spaces, reducing the need for joints and connectors. This can also help in minimizing maintenance and repair costs in the long run.
How deep should electrical conduit be buried underground to ensure safety and compliance with regulations?
Electrical conduit should be buried at a depth of at least 18 inches underground to ensure safety and compliance with regulations.
Can you run 110 and 220 volt circuits in the same conduit?
Yes, 120 and 240 volts can be run in the same conduit.
Can 480 volt electric be run in emt conduit?
Yes 480 volt electric wiring can be run in emt conduit.
