For three number 3 AWG wires, you would typically use a conduit size of at least 1 inch in diameter. This size allows for proper fill capacity according to the National Electrical Code (NEC) requirements. However, it's essential to consider the type of conduit and any additional wires that may be included in the same conduit run, as this could affect the final size needed. Always consult local codes and regulations for specific requirements.
10 AWG can be solid. 8 AWG and larger should be stranded. 2008 NEC 310.3 2011 NEC 310.106(C)
A trade size hole for a 2-1/2" EMT conduit connector, the hole needs to be 2-7/8" in diameter. A 3" rigid conduit can also use this size hole without the lock nuts falling into the hole.
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.
50 mm or 2 inch will handle the 3/0 wires for a 200 amp service.
Approximately 6-8 No. 2 AWG THHN wires will fit in a 1" conduit, depending on the manufacturer and bending restrictions. However, it is always recommended to consult the National Electrical Code (NEC) and local regulations for specific guidelines on conduit fill for your location.

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.
For accommodating 8/3 wire, a 1-inch conduit should be used.
8 AWG is typical.

The minimum wire size for a 30Amp breaker is typically 10 AWG for copper wire and 8 AWG for aluminum wire, according to the National Electrical Code (NEC). This wire size is necessary to safely carry the amount of current without overheating.
