The key parameter in sizing wire is the current requirement. Once you know that you can look up value in a wire gauge table. The length of the run is important for longer runs because of the resistance of the wire itself. Aluminum wire requires a larger diameter than copper for the same current. Once you calculate the wire size you can then size the conduit.

Is it legal to support a conduit from another conduit of the same size?
No, the conduit has to be supported individually from a supportive structure. The spacing of the strapping is related to the size of the conduit.
What size should under ground conduit be from pole to meter base?
For new 200 amp services the conduit size should be 3 inch PVC.
What is the hole size required for a 2.5 conduit?

Can you list the different PVC conduit fittings?
ma - male adapter, fa - female adapter, coup - coupling, conn - connector, cap - end cap, reducer - bushings that reduce the size of a conduit to allow connection to a smaller size conduit, expansion joints - to allow the expansion and contraction in the conduit system.
What information can be found in the wire to conduit chart?
The wire to conduit chart provides information on the maximum number and size of wires that can safely fit inside a conduit based on the conduit size.
What size conduit and aluminum wire for a 400 foot run for 200 amps?
For a 200 amp service over a 400 foot run, you would need to use at least a 2-inch conduit to accommodate the size of the aluminum wire required. You would typically use 3/0 aluminum wire for this setup to ensure efficient power transmission and meet code requirements for voltage drop. It's recommended to consult with a licensed electrician to determine the exact specifications for your specific setup.
What information can I find in the conduit size chart for wire?
A conduit size chart for wire provides information on the recommended conduit size based on the wire gauge and the number of wires being used. It helps in determining the appropriate conduit size for safe and efficient wire installation.
What size conduit for 400 amp service?
4 inch rigid conduit
What information does the conduit size chart in the National Electrical Code (NEC) provide for determining the appropriate conduit size for electrical installations?
The conduit size chart in the National Electrical Code (NEC) provides information on the maximum number and size of conductors that can be safely installed in a specific conduit size. This helps determine the appropriate conduit size for electrical installations to ensure compliance with safety standards and prevent overheating or other hazards.
What information can be found in the NEC PVC conduit fill table?
The NEC PVC conduit fill table provides information on the maximum number of conductors that can be safely installed in a PVC conduit based on the size of the conduit and the size of the conductors.
What information does the NEC conduit fill chart provide for determining the appropriate size of conduit for electrical wiring installations?
The NEC conduit fill chart provides information on the maximum number and size of electrical wires that can be safely installed in a conduit based on the conduit size and type of wires being used. This helps determine the appropriate size of conduit needed for specific electrical wiring installations to ensure safety and compliance with regulations.
