∙ 12y agoNo, each conduit should only contain wires from the same circuit. Mixing circuits in a conduit can lead to interference and safety hazards. It is always best practice to keep conductors of the same circuit together to prevent potential issues.
If someone only connect one of the wires to the bulb holder, the circuit will be open and the lamp will not light. This is the same principal that a switch in the circuit does. It opens and closes the circuit.
It is common practice to run paralleled sets of conductors in separate conduits to ensure proper current sharing and to reduce the risk of electromagnetic interference. However, they can be run in the same conduit as long as the conduit is sized appropriately to accommodate all the conductors and complies with local codes and standards.
It is not recommended to run coaxial cable in the same PVC conduit as the electric service. The electrical interference from the power lines can degrade the signal quality of the coaxial cable. It is better to run them in separate conduits to avoid interference issues.
To split one circuit into two branch loads within a junction box, connect the hot wire from the circuit to a wire nut and then connect two separate hot wires to the wire nut, each leading to its own branch load. Repeat the same process for the neutral and ground wires, ensuring proper connections and wire terminations.
For a 60 amp circuit, a 6 gauge wire is typically used as the neutral wire. This wire size ensures proper grounding and safety for the circuit. Make sure to always consult the National Electrical Code (NEC) and local codes for specific requirements in your area.
The conductors of any three phase circuit must be run in the same conduit. If the circuit requires a neutral, it must also run with the conductors in the same conduit. (If they were to be run in more than one conduit or raceway, the circuit would not operate properly.)
noyou can not
According to the wording ,2 different phase wires "can" run through the same conduit. Not only can they, but if they are part of the same circuit they must. And in cases where conductors are paralleled, meaning more than one conductor per phase as is common in commercial and industrial installations, you put one conductor of each phase and a neutral, if one exists, and a ground in each conduit. Not doing so, meaning to put all of one phase in one conduit, causes a voltage to be induced into the conduit and a tremendous amount of heat builds up. Even when using pvc or other non-metallic conduit, somewhere along the way you have something metallic and have the same problem. To simplify, you must put all conductors associated with the same circuit in the same conduit.
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.
Yes, this only adds up to four wires. The wire sizing is dependant on the amperage of the two single phase loads. Remember to calculate the conduit fill of the four wires to make sure that you have the correct size conduit for the installation.
If the conduit has reached its limit as to how many wires can be in it, there is only one course of action and that it to install another conduit parallel to the existing one. The electrical code book only allows a certain cross sectional filling of any conduit size. The rule is based on the dissipation of heat from the conductors in the circuits through the conduit walls. Once the wire fill has reached that figure no more wires should be pulled in because of insulation heating. Over time the heating of the insulation could lead to insulation breakdown and then short circuiting of the existing conductors that are in the same conduit.
The simple answer to your question is yes. But there are limits to how many wires can be in any conduit, and the current carrying capacity of the conductors can be affected by distance, ambient temperature, and how many conductors are contained in the same conduit. Other things to consider are, Can you physically fit the wires in there? Would it be easier to run a new conduit? Do you have the manpower necessary to get the work done?
If they are on the same circuit you only need 1 neutral wire in the circuit.

Yes, 120 and 240 volts can be run in the same conduit.
