The National Electrical Code (NEC) provides guidelines for conduit fill calculations. For half-inch PVC conduit, you can typically fit about 6 to 7 number 12 THHN wires. However, the exact number may vary depending on factors such as the specific type of insulation and the installation conditions, so it's always best to refer to NEC tables for precise calculations.
Yes, you can use 10 AWG (American Wire Gauge) wire in a half-inch conduit, provided that the conduit is not overfilled according to the National Electrical Code (NEC) guidelines. Generally, a half-inch conduit can accommodate several 10 AWG wires, but it's important to check the specific fill capacity based on the number of conductors and any additional requirements for bends or fittings. Always ensure that the installation adheres to local codes and regulations for safety and compliance.
It is easy to put a 2-inch long piece of conduit that is less than half an inch in any cross-sectional measure into a half-inch conduit.

The maximum number of 14 AWG wires allowed in a half-inch conduit depends on the type of conduit and local electrical codes. According to the National Electrical Code (NEC), for a standard half-inch EMT conduit, you can typically fit up to 9 conductors. However, it's important to check the specific NEC tables and local regulations, as factors like insulation type and conduit fill rules can affect the final count. Always consult a qualified electrician for precise calculations.
9 - Is this a test answer or do you just want to know for a project you're doing? Take a look at NEC chapter 9 - tables 4 and 5 (in the 2005 edition at least)

9-10, but the conduit may not exceed a certain length, or a certain voltage in order for you to "legally" do it. Many applications allow for conduit fill ratio's that exceed the standards of the NEC ( National Electrical Code) and most of them are short (less than 24") "chases" between control devices mounted in listed Junction boxes for that purpose. It is not advisable to fill a conduit more than the NEC allows for purposes of heat dissipation.

Sir Isaac Newton did not marry and had no children. After his father's death his mother remarried and had three further children - his half sibliings. One of these had a daughter Cartherine Barton, to whom Newton was close and lived with in London. Catherine Barton married Sir John Conduit. John Conduit was hisnephew by marriageto his half siser's daughter.
Spark plug wires should not overheat from the electric current, so I would be supspicious of an exhaust leak or some other outside heat source causing problems. Where is the wire burning?
