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.
i just left lowes an they told me to run 100 amp to my building i would need wire size 2-2-2-4 alumninum and run it in conduit the lowes around here does not sell copper wire that size
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.
AWG # 8 copper
AWG # 8 copper.
AWG # 8
8 AWG.
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.
8 AWG is typical.
11
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.

A 4 AWG wire diameter is about 0.2043 inches. For this wire size, a pipe with a diameter of at least 0.5 inches (1/2 inch) would be suitable to provide ample space for the wire to pass through without being compressed or damaged.
