I’m a Journeyman Electrician & I haven’t been in the books in over 4 years…I’m going for my Masters. Your video is the best one I saw so far!! Very well put together and I like how you show where to go. Thank you for the video It starting to come back to me:)

I've been watching your videos for about 6months now and really liking them a lot, I specially love your code section. Learned a lot. Thank you.

As a professional electrical engineer I found this video helpful. I've taken my fair share of academic courses and certifications and there is so much information to remember its insane. I have to do fill and bend radius calculations on a daily basis so i tend to forget some of the other useful pieces of code in the NEC.

Hey man! EE here who has to know the trade and code rules. What's your field?

I literally just took a test on this Monday lol It was a third year Apprentice test but they moved it to second year. I appreciate the additional clarification!

A few points. 1) heat is a factor in raceway fill since mutual heating becomes an issue. There are Performance and Prescriptive Requirements and the prescriptive requirements that demand the maximum fill are to also help satisfy the performance requirements so as to not damage the thermal properties of the insulation. 2) Yes, another key factor is indeed reducing the potential for damage during the installation. Remember, that Informative Annex C is only for raceway fill as a short cut when ALL the conductors are the same size, it doesn't reference heat simply because it is again simply giving users as a shortcut method to maximum fill if all the rules are adhered to. Back to heating, just because the values of 310.15(B)(2)(a) and 310.15(B)(3)(a) appear to have no relationship to raceway fill they do when ampacity is involved and the perfect world of 310.15(B)(16), such as more than 3 current-carrying conductors are encountered. The annular space that is also maintained helps to allow heat dissipation, not removal. Just some thoughts to share. Now, if the heat was not involved AT ALL then why do you think nipples allow fill allowances to he up to 60%, it is due to the limited length and availability of enhanced heat dissipation. Clearly, the reduced nipple length is not an installation damage concern during the installation. Point is they all work together in a Performance and Prescriptive method by using all areas of the NEC.

Master The NEC I’m not disagreeing with any of that, I’m saying that is the reason we use temperature and correction factors for sizing the conductors, not for sizing conduit. And nipples have 2 benefits according to Ch 9 Tbl 1 - no derating for ambient or bundling because of this heat dissipation you talk about and 2 adding more conductors because of physical damage being a lot less likely. The heat and the size are two different things. My argument is that sizing raceways doesn’t require knowledge of heat dissipation, only size of conductors. Head dissipation is dealt with when sizing conductors.

@MasterTheNEC

I can agree if sizing is your only goal physically and based on the title of the video that was your goal. However, I felt it was important historically to understanding WHY we size and how it still linked to the thermal effects of sizing. Ultimatly we could care shitless about size except it links us to the detriment of the wire and its ability to safely and efficiently carry current. The dog wags the tail....We worry about raceway sizes with the knowledge that it helps achieve a performance goal of not damaging the conductors. They work in harmony. Now, if the only goal was to size in the video then no worries but saying heat and mutual heating plays no historical linkage is inaccurate in my opinion. But, Yes I conceded that of sizing is your only focus of the lesson then goal achieved. Hopefully, you did mention Annex C only applies to 40% fill and if all the conductors are the same insulation type and size but I am sure you did my friend.

Master The NEC thanks for sharing, again I do believe mutual hearing and energy dissipation are indeed things that happen. What I don’t believe is that the 40% fill was created for heat dissipation. I believe 310 was created for heat dissipation, ch9 was created for fitting conductors in conduit. That’s actually ALL I’m saying.

Non-electrician here, but watching the channel to START my education because I plan to re-wire my house in a few years. Looking in my basement, I see a few tubes of 1/2' NMT filled with Romex along the walls. Some have one, others have two. Is Romex, when still fully sheathed, considered one conductor or still considered multiple? In either case, I feel these conduits are overfilled.

I’ve watched a few of your videos & stumbled on this one. I don’t do a lot of electrical anymore but I’m building a large shed for my woodworking equipment. This conduit episode is perfect as I need to run about 100’ of 1/0 Thhn Thwn 2 for a sub panel.Also thanks for the ugly’s book have one on order. I also just subscribed as I believe you channel is awesome.

Please check your code book. If you read the informational notes of Annex C in the NEC Handbook it leads you 300.17, which clearly reads... "the number and size of conductors in any raceway shall not be more than will permit dissipation of the heat and ready installation or withdrawal of the conductors without damage to the conductors or their insulation".

Dustin, Very good video! A couple finer points. The conductor areas listed in the tables are information based on Southwire. Exception allows you to use manufacturers information for specific conductors. Also, somewhere in the back it says that at 40.5% you can round down. I'm sure you can guess how I found this out after designing electrical for 35 years. I needed both to be legal. Very respectfully, Kevin

This made a lot more sense seeing the highlighted sections and tabs in both your codebook and your ugly's. Im soon to be a fourth year and haven't had a full on immersion into the way to effectively tab a code book let alone an ugly's. If you have time, could you either link a previous video or potentially create something informative, using examples like the brilliant ones in this video, to illustrate where and what to highlight. The stuff we use all the time, maybe a penultimate "the final test" video, or just something to help us highlight and label our books. Did I see that you have the tables tabbed on the top edge as opposed to clumped in and lost among the other articles. That's BRILLIANT! Super helpful to see something like that, as many code tabs instruct us to put them all on the one mail edge. I love the outside the box creativity. It's inspiring.

I think the other reasoning behind it is that conductors expand/contract depending on ambient temperature (especially in unconditioned spaces, or if buried). If conduit was crammed full during the winter for example, and all the conductors expand during the summer, it's possible they could get damaged somehow. But yeah biggest one is probably just for sake of pulling conduit and the jacket not getting destroyed.

Actually you just touched on an issue that Los Angeles had years ago with the wires rubbing on the conduit as they heat and cool with load and season. In that situation it was something like 200,000KV not residential but same general principal applies.

Conduit fill CAN lead to too much heat. Heat can cause a "You name it" list of problems in electrical systems. I have seen it personally on more than one occasion. Remember, 9 current carrying conductors or less to avoid derating the conductor amperage heavily.

This is a really good video. I’m a 2nd year apprentice. My supervisor and I were just talking about conduit fill these last two weeks in the field. Today in my apprenticeship class we talked about conduit fill and today you uploaded this video. Always nice hearing it from multiple perspectives. I always feel it helps to ask while in the field and then do my own research on the question when I get home. It helps me retain the information and be able to apply it on the job. Thanks for another great video.

What area is used when running romex in a conduit?

Good video BUT the NEC will argue with you about derating of conductors and the AHJ may make you change them if not factored correctly. Derating the size has to be applied when running more than 3 current carrying conductors in a conduit. This is why is makes more sense to run smaller conduits like 3/4" with less conductors because it's not economical to upsize the wire when you fill a larger conduit with more conductors & the wire size needs to be increased due to derating. This is one subject that is always argued upon in the field. Wish the NEC would clear it up better. Other factors to consider are ambient temps say in a boiler room that has temps above 86 deg F. Also the termination lug rating of equipment can dictate what rating of wire amp table you can apply. Say your breaker lug has a rating of 75 c you can't use the 90c amperage table for wire size. I advise Apprentices to dig a bit deeper & check several opinions from KZread & Google for you answers. On another thought the factories I've worked in over the years have plenty conduits overfilled with general purpose branch circuits, not that it's right but they operate fine. You really need to be careful when running heavy amperage circuits like motor loads ect in the same conduit. I don't claim to be an expert but have 40+ years experience.

@chasebeebe3671

This is true. I’m a journeyman in Dallas and do industrial and commercial and inspectors are actively asking about de rating and checking out conduits with more than 3 current carrying conductors and making sure we upsized accordingly. They don’t always check but I always de rate all of my conductors just in case. Usually this leads to multiple small conduits being ran as opposed to less amounts of bigger conduits because we avoid upsizing the wires to much because of the original bid cost

Great explanation, better than many teachers I know. You are a good communicator.

I asked ChatGPT 4o "So I have a 4-aug wire, a black one. I have a red 4-aug wire and a green 8-aug wire. According to the National Electric Code of 2020, in terms of conduit fill, am I under code if I use a Schedule 40 1-inch conduit?" It answered me: "To determine if your wire setup is within the code for conduit fill according to the 2020 National Electrical Code (NEC), we need to refer to NEC Chapter 9, Table 5 for the wire dimensions and Table 4 for the conduit fill capacities. Here's the step-by-step process: 1. **Determine the cross-sectional areas of the wires:** - For 4 AWG wire (both black and red): - THHN/THWN insulation has an approximate area of 0.0837 square inches each. - For 8 AWG wire (green): - THHN/THWN insulation has an approximate area of 0.0366 square inches. 2. **Sum the areas of the wires:** \[ \text{Total Area} = (2 \times 0.0837) + 0.0366 = 0.204 \text{ square inches} \] 3. **Check the fill capacity for Schedule 40 1-inch conduit:** - According to NEC Chapter 9, Table 4, the maximum fill for a 1-inch Schedule 40 PVC conduit is 0.346 square inches (40% fill for three or more conductors). Since the total area of your wires (0.204 square inches) is less than the allowable fill capacity (0.346 square inches), you are within the code for conduit fill using a 1-inch Schedule 40 conduit. Therefore, using a Schedule 40 1-inch conduit for your specified wires is compliant with the 2020 NEC code." What a genius!

I would like input on a conduit question. People putting NM in conduit. My first reaction is no you can't put NM in conduit but.. I have also heard there is nothing in the NEC code that says you can't. The thermal characteristics are different between single vs a bundle of wires so you do have to oversize the conduit compared to a bundle of single wires.

Extremely important to know and always make sure u dont over fill

Hey refresh my memory of what does t hhn stand for

Kind of in the weeds a bit more, but when filling conduit with multiple branch circuits, do you try to even out which line (120/240 split phase) the branch circuits are supplied by, if running hot and neutrals in separate conduits? Ex: 8 conductors, 4 branch circuits, if all on line 1 supply, would increase mutual inductance in both the conductors and any EMT/Liquidtight metallic. This would increase your eddy currents, reducing your ampacity margin, right? Or is this just not a big enough impact to consider?

What you said at the start of the video is true. Derating for conduit fill is a whole other conversation.

I always had problems with this. For some reason it never made sense to me. I'm very glad you covered it. Thank you I love your channel

In Canada you have to de rate the amps for wire sizing based on how many conductors in a pipe. So I guess in Canada they include heat as reason for conduit fill. I.E if 7 conduits in a pipe you got to use a 10g for 20a pull. (Not exact just an example)

Can you run 6/3 Romex in EMT conduit (3/4 inch)? Thanks! PS, it will be used inside a garage.

Excellent! Good info and good camera shots and video.

The code it’s not an instruction manual nor a study guide. Go to 310.1(B)(3)(A) and you will find that’s grouping the conductor has to apply adjustment factor to prevent the wires from over heating.

Hi, looking at this, something does not add up, for instance, table say only 8 THHN conductors/wires are allowed in a 1/2 " PVC sch40 conduit, right ? , but you are supposed to be able to use 40% of the conduit cross section area, if you do the math, 8 wires is only about 16% of the cross section, so what is right ?? Well, my dimension were wrong, so 8 wires 12 gauge take 31.26 to 33.8 % (depending on sizes of both pipe and wire) , so now makes sense, if sizes/dimensions are wrong the math won't make sense. And actually I put only 6 scrap pieces of wires to see how they would look in the pipe, and it look crowded, so 8 is enough, and pulling them in curves etc, might not be easy, so the code makes sense. 😂😂

Honestly, the internet is scaring me. I'm looking toward relocating (or having it done) my main panel and meter and upgrading from the currently existing two panels (one in the main house and one in the semi-detached former two car garage/previous owner's workshop) to those two plus three more panels: one in the "pool house", one in the tool shed/workshop, and one in the "barn." I was thinking about duct banks and what size conduit I'd need to run the feeds underground for all three panels (since the closest is about 100 feet, the next one at about 125 and the third at about 185 feet). I mean, I thought it, and whoa, here's a video talking about it. scary.

What is the difference between nipples and conduit? Is it just the length (9.0(4) seems to indicate 600mm (24in) is a qualification characteristic), or are there other different characteristics between nipples and conduits? Are you allowed to have bends in a nipple (like, a jog to connect misaligned holes on two electrical boxes), or once you put a bend in a nipple does it become a conduit?

I'm curious about the different variations for conduit types in Annex C, why is there a C11 and C11A and how do you know which table to use in what situation?

Based on all your NEC warnings requirements with no more than 40% fill, I'm I screwed from the start? I'm routing CCX lines. I prefer 1 cable, 1 line for simplicity. I can reduce down to 3 cables, but I don't really want to use wire for different purpose than it's intention and don't want to replace a hack with a hack.

It's more about heat dissipation. They're planning for every circuit to be loaded to the max at all time. If you jam 12 wires next to each other all pulling 16 amps (out of 20 amps allowable), the wires are going to heat up which increases resistance. positive feedback loop that can run out of control. > 360 degress is impossible yes

Yep, the conduit fill apps are pretty handy! I use them frequently on the job. I also think it’s important for apprentices to learn how to use the code book and a calculator to do it the old school way first before they ever download an app to rely on. Perfect example...I had a wire pull recently that seemed like too many conductors for the conduit size so I plugged in the numbers on my app. It showed over 40%. I brought it to the general foreman’s attention and he plugged in the numbers on the conduit fill app pre-installed on his company issued iPad and showed less than 40%. I felt a little defeated at first but I pulled out my code book after work and did the math. Turns out my app was right and his was wrong.
