In Canada the answer is no. Triplex is an aerial rated set of conductors that are used to bring the voltage from the utilities pole to the service drop at the home. Triplex consists of two ungrounded conductors wrapped around a neutral steel supported conductor. These conductors can be used on higher current capacities due to the direct cooling of the conductors by the surrounding air. This is why you will see a service drop of number 6 conductors supplying a 100 amp service. For a three phase four wire system quadplex is used to make three phase connections to commercial and industrial services.

Do you have to run wiring in conduit if its in the ground?
Wire in conduit for underground feeders has to have an insulationrating for wet and damp locations. In the marketplace there is also wiring thathas an insulation rating for direct burial that does not need to be installed into conduit.
Do you need a mast to run aerial wire from a garage with a 100 amp fuse box to an office trailer?
Yes, it must have a standoff, and the proper service head in. I would run it underground instead of overhead. Use underground wire in a conduit.
Electrical conduit length is there a tool to measuring the conduit underground?
Well yes there is its called electricians conduit measuring tool we found it on u tube . go to superconduits and watch the video .
Can you run 110 and 220 volt circuits in the same conduit?
Yes, 120 and 240 volts can be run in the same conduit.
Does triplex wire need to be in conduit under a house?
Yes. If they are single wires they need to be in a conduit.
Can 14-2 wire on a patio post be covered with white conduit?
Yes, that is fine as long as the wire does not run underground. If it does run underground you need 14-2U wire.

Which conduit is best - PVC or MS conduit?
For underground conduit runs, PVC is by far the better of the two conduit systems.
Can you run Ethernet out doors or should it be incased in conduit?
The outer casing of an Ethernet cable does not have a UV rating and will deteriorate under the summer sun. Pull the cable into a conduit and if possible bury the conduit underground. This will give you a safe and secure link.
Do you have to bury your wire for a hot tub 20 feet away from main breaker?
It depends on what you want it to look like. it could be run underground in plastic conduit. Above ground in metal conduit, or overhead. If there is a fence or railing running from the breaker to the hot tub the conduit can run along that. If it is run along the ground it should be marked or covered to avoid accidental damage to it.

Can 480 volt electric be run in emt conduit?
Yes 480 volt electric wiring can be run in emt conduit.
Can you use PVC conduit underground?
PVC conduit is recommended for underground installations. Just remember that a ground wire equal to the maximum load current of the device connected at the other end has to be installed. This ground wire is not counted in conduit fill calculations. It has to have a green insulation in colour and be of a continuous length.
