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 offsetting conduit around an ibeam what type of bend would you use?
When offsetting conduit around an I-beam, a two-bend offset is typically used. This method involves making two bends in the conduit to create a gradual change in direction, allowing the conduit to clear the I-beam without creating sharp angles that could compromise the integrity of the installation. The bends are usually made at equal angles, ensuring a smooth transition.
What conduit bender would you use to bend 1 inch steel conduit?
To bend 1-inch steel conduit, you would typically use a hydraulic or manual conduit bender specifically designed for EMT (Electrical Metallic Tubing) or rigid conduit. A popular choice is a 1-inch EMT conduit bender, which features a 30-degree bend mark and a sturdy frame for leverage. Hydraulic benders are often preferred for larger jobs due to their ease of use and ability to create precise bends without damaging the conduit. Always ensure the bender is compatible with the type of conduit you are working with.
How is an electrical conduit installed?
An electrical conduit is commonly installed in several steps. The first step would be to carefully plan the position of the conduit and what materials that are required for the surface. Then one should execute the plan with common tools such as a screwdriver.
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.)
What kind of bend would you used when offsetting conduit around an i beam?
offset bends.

What is the allowable radius of ent conduit and tubing bends for 2 inch ent?
The allowable radius for bends in 2-inch Electrical Nonmetallic Tubing (ENT) is typically a minimum of 5 times the diameter of the conduit. This means the minimum bend radius would be 10 inches. However, it is always essential to consult the manufacturer's specifications and local code requirements, as they may have specific guidelines or recommendations.

When bending a 12 inch offset using 30 degree BENDS what would be the distance between the two bends?
Use these numbers when bending offsets: 10 degree bends, multiply the depth of the offset by 6 this will give you the distance between bends. For 20 degree multiply by 2.6, for 30 degree multiply by 2, for 45 degree multiply by 1.4, for 60 degree multiply by 1.2. I use 30 degree bends for all of my offsets, just because its easier to do the math. So your answer would be 24 inches between bends. I have come to the conclusion anybody can bend conduit, its the measuring and marking that requires skill.
Is a separate ground wire required for each circuit in a conduit?
No, a single ground wire can be used for multiple circuits in a conduit as long as it meets the sizing requirements based on the largest circuit conductor in the conduit. The ground wire provides a path for fault current to safely return to the source in case of a fault or short circuit.
What is the total shrinkage of a set of 30 degree offset bends with a depth of 7 in and a set of 22 12 degree opffset bends with a 4 in depth?
30 degree bends -as in a conduit offset- create a 3-4-5 right triangle extrapolating the "3" of the triangle to your 7" offset should result in a shrinkage of approx 2- 1/3 inches. Sinceconduit bends are curved and not exact angles this may not be accurateenough to pre-cut and thread and then bend. I assume that is why you were asking. I also assume you are talking large size conduit. I will leave the 22-1/2 degree question to you.
