To determine how many 1250 kcmil (thousand circular mils) conductors fit in a 4-inch EMT (Electrical Metallic Tubing), we first need to find the allowable fill capacity based on the National Electrical Code (NEC). A 4-inch EMT can typically accommodate up to 100% fill of 1,000 kcmil conductors, which is about 14.5 cubic inches per conductor. Since 1250 kcmil conductors have a larger size, typically, only one 1250 kcmil conductor can fit in a 4-inch EMT due to fill and bending space limitations.
When using a 1-inch EMT bender, you typically subtract 2 inches from the total length of the conduit for each bend. This accounts for the radius of the bend, which is usually 3 inches for a 1-inch EMT bender. Therefore, if you are planning to make a bend, measure the distance you want to bend from the end of the conduit and subtract 2 inches to ensure the proper length.
For cutting 1 2-inch EMT conduit, a hacksaw blade with 14 to 18 teeth per inch (TPI) is generally recommended. This range provides a balance between cutting speed and the smoothness of the cut, allowing for effective slicing through the metal without excessive effort. Using a blade within this TPI range ensures a clean cut while minimizing the risk of damaging the conduit.
In a three-quarter inch EMT conduit, you can typically fit up to 9 number 10 THHN wires, according to the NEC (National Electrical Code) guidelines. However, this number can vary depending on factors such as the type of insulation and installation conditions. It's always best to consult the NEC tables or a qualified electrician for precise calculations tailored to your specific application.
In a three-quarter inch EMT (Electrical Metallic Tubing), the maximum number of 12 AWG THHN conductors allowed is typically 10, according to the National Electrical Code (NEC) guidelines for conduit fill. However, this number can vary based on factors such as the specific application, bundling, and ambient temperature. It’s always important to consult the current NEC code and local regulations for accurate requirements.
All conduit shall not have more than 360 degrees for it's length between either a box, cabinet, or conduit body. Couplings count as a continuation of conduit.

EMT can earn anywhere from 42000 and 72000 dollars a year. You will need 2 years of basic emt training which can be earned at many universatries.

According to the 2005 NEC Annex C, table C.1 you are allowed nine #12 THHN conductors in a 1/2" trade size EMT conduit. If your conduit run is any length at all, you would be wise to increase the conduit size to 3/4". as pulling 9 #12's for any length in 1/2" EMT is very difficult.
EMT stand for Intermediate practice exams. These practice tests are only to demonstrate the type and quality of EMT. I questions that can be found within our subscription area. These EMT I exams do not include the grading and rationale functionality as do the exams within the paid members area.
In EMT class you can only miss 3 days before you have the choice to start next semester or get kicked out.
