Yes 480 volt electric wiring can be run in emt conduit.
IMC conduit is thicker and heavier than EMT conduit, making it more durable and suitable for outdoor and industrial applications. IMC conduit is also more resistant to damage and corrosion. EMT conduit, on the other hand, is lighter and easier to bend, making it ideal for indoor and residential applications where flexibility is needed. In terms of benefits, IMC conduit provides better protection for wires and cables, while EMT conduit is more cost-effective and easier to install.
When exist a junction box EMT, conduit must be supported within 18 inches.
EMT conduit is made of metal and is more rigid, while PVC conduit is made of plastic and is more flexible. EMT conduit is typically used for indoor applications, while PVC conduit is better suited for outdoor or underground installations. The choice between the two depends on the specific needs of your electrical wiring project.
A PVC to EMT adapter is used to connect PVC conduit to EMT conduit in electrical installations. It allows for a smooth transition between the two types of conduit, ensuring a secure and reliable connection. This adapter is commonly used when different types of conduit need to be joined together to run electrical wiring in a building.

To bend EMT conduit effectively and accurately, use a conduit bender tool and follow the markings on the tool for the desired angle. Secure the conduit in the bender and apply gradual pressure to create the bend. Measure and check the angle as you bend to ensure accuracy.
Yes it should be grounded

EMT is electrical metallic tubing. In the electrical trade there are nominal sizes expressed as a standard size. To answer your question you must state the conduit size in either electrical terms or in standard size terms to get a conversion size.For example standard size 1/2" EMT has an actual diameter size of 3/4" and the 1/2"EMT connector for the 1/2" EMT conduit needs a 7/8" hole.Likewise with 3/4" EMT the actual outside diameter is 15/16" and the 3/4" EMT connector needs a 1-1/8" hole.
Another name for thin wall conduit is EMT (Electrical Metallic Tubing). It is a type of conduit made of steel that is commonly used for protecting and routing electrical wiring in commercial and industrial construction.
