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.
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.)
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.
What is the minimum size service cconduit for a 100 amp service?
If the service stack is supported by a support structure and the utility feed drop is not supported from the conduit, the size of the conduit can be 1 1/4". If the service stack is used to support the utility feed drop then the conduit has to be 2" schedule 40 conduit. The reasoning behind this is that if in a storm a tree limb falls across the service drop, the lighter weight conduit could bend and pinch the wires in the stack and short out. This would be ahead of the main service breaker and the only protection for the wire would be the primary fuse at the transformer. Theoretically this amperage could rise to 50000 amps before the primary fuse blows. A schedule 40 service stack if supported, as the code requires, will withstand most tree falls. What is most likely to happen is that the utility connectors will pull apart leaving the service stack intact.
What kind of bend would you use when offsetting conduit around an Beam?
offset bends.

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?
To find the total shrinkage, you would add the shrinkages of the two sets of bends together. For the set of 30 degree offset bends with a depth of 7 inches, you would calculate the shrinkage using a bender multiplier table based on the bend angle and a depth of 7 inches. Similarly, you would do the same for the set of 22 1/2 degree offset bends with a depth of 4 inches, and then add them together to get the total shrinkage.

What size PVC conduit would be required to carry five runs of number 12 AWG conductors?
For five runs of #12 AWG conductors, a minimum of 1 inch PVC conduit would be required to meet the fill ratio requirements, providing adequate space for the conductors while allowing for future additions or modifications.
What size rigid conduit for 400 amp service?
For a 400 amp service, you would typically use a minimum of 3-inch rigid metal conduit (RMC) to accommodate the large conductors required for that amperage. It's essential to consult local electrical codes and regulations to ensure compliance with sizing requirements for your specific installation.
What is an arch in gymnastic?
Well its when your back bends backward a little and the opposite of a arch would be a hollow. Arch-bends backward and a hollow bends forward
