The key is that you don't want to cause over-heating in wire. The answer is you can probably do what you want unless it involves high current and a small cross section in wire mold such that the Romex could generate too much heat. You could always strip out the wires inside the Romex and just run them in the wire mold.
What else can I help you with?
Can 2 lengths of 14 Ga romex be used to make a 30 A circuit?
No, electrical wires can only be run in parallel on wire sizes 1/0 and larger. To supply a load of 30 amps you will need #10 wire and a 30 amp breaker.
Does 6 gauge wire need to be in a conduit if run in a finished garage along the wall and ceiling?
If you are talking about #6 building wire, it needs to have mechanical protection. This means that it has to be run in conduit. If you are talking about #6 cable set like Romex, then it only has to have mechanically protection below a five foot elevation from the garage's finished floor. If the wall that the cable set is running in is going to be finished with drywall or plywood then that is considered protected.
When is it permissible to wire tie a wire to a conduit?
What kind of wire? If it's a power wire, why is the place wired with conduit? Commercial buildings must put all power wiring in conduit, so if you're planning to run romex in a commercial building, the answer would be "no", it's not permissible. If it's data wire, note that there may be some "crossover" interference if the data wire follows a power wire for very much distance. It's usually not a problem to cross a conduit and tie to it, but it's generally recommended that you not tie data cable to conduit.
How to run a cable underfloor from a wall socket?
Yes, as long as you do not run it under the floor joists. New electrical code requires that you drill a hole through the floor joists and run the wire through those holes. It cannot be hanging under the floor joists. If you see wires are already running under the floor joists then go ahead and run the wire under the joists attaching it on every other joists with a wire staple. Make sure they wire does not make contact with any metal ductwork or any other metal objects. Match the wire with what is already in the wall outlet you are jumping off of. If it is 12/2 then use 12/2, if it is 14/2 then use 14/2. Never mix wire gauges.
Can you run thhn conductors exposed?
n you run thhn wire in a cable tray
Is that possible to run romex wire to the under ground basement?
No, it is not possible to run Romex wire directly underground in a basement. Romex wire is not rated for direct burial underground and should not be used in this application. Instead, you should use UF-B (underground feeder) cable or conduit with appropriate wiring for underground installations.
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.
Is it permissible to run Romex cable in conduit?
Yes, it is generally not permissible to run Romex cable in conduit because Romex is already insulated and designed for use without additional protection. Running Romex in conduit can lead to overheating and potential fire hazards.
Why can't you run Romex in conduit?
Romex cable cannot be run in conduit because it is not designed to be used in that way. Romex is a type of non-metallic sheathed cable that already has its own protective outer jacket. Running it in conduit can cause overheating and damage to the cable, potentially leading to a fire hazard. It is important to follow the manufacturer's guidelines for proper installation of Romex cable.
Can 2 lengths of 14 Ga romex be used to make a 30 A circuit?
No, electrical wires can only be run in parallel on wire sizes 1/0 and larger. To supply a load of 30 amps you will need #10 wire and a 30 amp breaker.
How many watts can run through wire?
1,200
What is the difference between thhn and romex?
THHN is a single-conductor wire typically used in conduit for indoor wiring, while Romex is a brand of non-metallic sheathed cable that contains multiple insulated conductors in a flexible plastic jacket. THHN must be used inside conduit, while Romex can be run along surfaces or in walls without conduit.
Is Romex in conduit allowed?
No, Romex cable is not allowed to be run inside conduit. Romex cable is intended to be used in exposed or concealed applications within buildings. If conduit is used, it should contain individual THHN/THWN wires instead of Romex cable.
How can I run electrical wire from the breaker box to an outlet?
To run electrical wire from the breaker box to an outlet, you will need to turn off the power, plan the route for the wire, drill holes for the wire to pass through, run the wire through the holes, connect the wire to the breaker box and outlet, and secure the wire in place. It is important to follow all safety guidelines and local building codes when doing this task.
How can I run electrical wire through finished walls?
To run electrical wire through finished walls, you can use a fish tape or a wire snake to guide the wire through existing openings or create new ones. Be sure to turn off the power before working with electrical wiring and follow all safety guidelines.
How can I effectively run speaker wire through walls?
To effectively run speaker wire through walls, you can follow these steps: Plan the route of the wire and locate any obstacles in the wall. Use a stud finder to locate the studs in the wall. Cut a small hole in the wall near the floor and ceiling where you want the wire to run. Use a fish tape or wire snake to guide the wire through the wall cavity. Secure the wire to the studs using cable staples or clips. Patch up the holes in the wall once the wire is in place.
What was the Berlin Wall before it was a wall?
It was a barrier of barbed wire. When people began to run through the wire, they built it into a wall.
