Can you run electrical along a metal fence?
Yes, as long as it is in a plastic 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.
Can a three phase circuit be installed in the same conduit or in different conduits?
The conductors of any three phase circuit must be run in the same conduit. If the circuit requires a neutral, it must also run with the conductors in the same conduit. (If they were to be run in more than one conduit or raceway, the circuit would not operate properly.)
How many bends in a conduit run would be required before the use of a pull box?
There has to be a pull box between every four quarter bends in a conduit run.
Does the Nec allow grounding electrode conductor to be run in conduit that has other conductors in the conduit and what code section?
No, the bare copper grounding conductor can not be in a conduit with other conductors. It can be in conduit by itself to provide mechanical protection for the wire.
Can you run electrical along a metal fence?
Yes, as long as it is in a plastic conduit.
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 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.
Can a three phase circuit be installed in the same conduit or in different conduits?
The conductors of any three phase circuit must be run in the same conduit. If the circuit requires a neutral, it must also run with the conductors in the same conduit. (If they were to be run in more than one conduit or raceway, the circuit would not operate properly.)
Can you run parallel 4 ought aluminum conductors in the same 4 inch conduit?
Yes. Actually they should be run in the same conduit. You don't ever want to run parallel separately.
How many bends in a conduit run would be required before the use of a pull box?
There has to be a pull box between every four quarter bends in a conduit run.
Does the Nec allow grounding electrode conductor to be run in conduit that has other conductors in the conduit and what code section?
No, the bare copper grounding conductor can not be in a conduit with other conductors. It can be in conduit by itself to provide mechanical protection for the wire.
Should you run conduit parallel with the building if the fastest way is diagonal across the building?
Souldryou run conduit parallel with the building if the fastest way is diagonal across the building
What combinations of bends in a conduit run require the use of a pull box?
Code states no more that 4 - 90 degree bends in a conduit run between pull boxes.
What run around the house but dont move?
grassor a fence
What are some examples of a tee joint in the electrical trade?
A tee joint in the electrical trade is a conduit fitting. It is used in conduit work where there needs to be a device connected into the main conduit run. An example of this is where a light switch needs to be installed into the conduit run. The main conduit run starts at the distribution panel and proceeds to a lighting fixture. On the way a switch is needed to operate the light fixture. In the main conduit run a tee fitting is installed so as to pick up the switch for the fixture. When the conduit system is complete the wire is then drawn in. The "hot" conductor is pulled to the tee fitting and then diverts to the switch box to pick up the switch and then back up the same conduit to the tee fitting and then on to the lighting fixture. Splices are not usually made in tee fittings.
