Conduit Sizing

[@jasonh8542]

Whenever I have a CODE test I always make sure to stop by to your KZbin page. I know I have thanked you in many other of your videos but you really deserve a lot of praise.

[@schulerruler]

Thank you for the encouragement and support. I'm happy to hear the Videos are a help! Cheers!

[@A_Ali_S0]

Same here. Thanks for your videos..

[@branwhite4973]

You need to do some updates for 2021 28th edition. You are easily the best, most clear for this. I am being forced to retake my masters due to clerical errors....... don't get me started... these videos have been an excellent refresher

[@A_Ali_S0]

I am watching your videos since 2020 whenever I want to revise my calculations especially codes. I come to your channel. You're explaination is amazing. Thank You so much! ❤👍

[@schulerruler]

Thanks for the continued support!

[@davey2027]

This is awesome, I’m gunna share this with my classmates. All you videos are amazing. Have my SLE in two weeks

[@schulerruler]

I'm glad they were able to help you! Thanks for watching!

[@jasonh8542]

Will you be making any videos on the new code book?

[@schulerruler]

Yes, especially regarding this video was it is one of the major changes. Should be very soon!

[@jasonh8542]

@@schulerruler thank you. Really like your content and recommend you to many Canadian Apprentice electricians

[@schulerruler]

I appreciate the support, I just need to be less lazy with the video creation LoL

[@ebrahimazizi4133]

Can you please provide a video for section 8 of Code book? I have seen almost all of your videos and they are very good. Thank you so much!

[@DastanTutorial]

Great explanation, great video! As table 6 and 9 were were changed in new Canadian code, would you please please make a video regarding those changes? Thank you

[@schulerruler]

It's definitely one of the next one's on the list! Thanks for watching!

hello @schulerrlur video is so informative and really supportive to the candidates like me. I have a question and I hope you would make it clear. What is the maximum number of #14 600V without jacket R9 XLPE conductors allowed in trade size 41 ? A. 49 B. 46 C. 32 D. 22 ANS A.

[@schulerruler]

Without knowing the type of raceway (rigid, EMT etc) I would take the total volume at 40% in table 9g for the specific type, and divide it by the table 10a area, then round down to determine maximum fill number.

[@akaalsahaey]

@@schulerruler thanks to consider me to reply. As told I solved it as follows Area of #14 is 8.89 mm sq Area of 41 trade size is 534.56 ( chose from first column T9G) 534.56/8.89 = 60.24 Now answer would be closest option which is 49 Is it correct please evaluate

[@shubhsmiles]

Very good video. Error I spotted at 11:18 They are 4 conductor of #8 AWG

[@aniruddhjadav2556]

in A last example, do we need to add one more extra conductor as a bonding. if we are using the PVC conduit

[@aliakbarmalekikambakhsh3751]

Hi, thanks for your perfect video.Could you please let me know why we should look at 600 volt cables and not 1000 v? Thanks

[@nicoduplessis4738]

Thank you so much for the videos. How do I Calculate for example if I can have 3 x (12AWG x 3 Conductor SOOW) Cables in a Conduit?

[@schulerruler]

The next video I do will deal with flexible conductor calculations. I just have to actually do it haha. In a nutshell you would use column three from table 12 for allowable ampacities (check the note 1 in the bottom of the table)

[@Genesislights]

For NM, do you count the number of conductor or is it considered single?

[@CHLEOMENTETV]

To be honest i dont calculate when it comes to conduit... I always the table from Code..But i like the presentation.. Very nice.. Shout out and God bless..:)

[@schulerruler]

You might find you can save a few bucks on a smaller size using the table 10 8 9 method, as table 6 is based off the Raceway with the smallest interior diameter. Thanks for watching and fire the supportive comments!

[@gjhero]

Is there a code rule regarding whether or not the ground conductor would be used or not for conduit fill?

[@schulerruler]

As it does take up physical space we do consider it in the calculation. It does not, however, count as a current carrying for correction factor purposes from 4-004 1) c) and table 5c

[@DarksidePride]

Could you make video on the new revision of table 6 from the new code book (2021). Im all messed up now.

[@icekid5453]

How do you determined the trade size is 53 after going to T6j TW?

[@schulerruler]

Based on a 40% fill requirement from table 8, then table 9g to size with the total calculated area from table 6j.

Haha long time my friend! Good to hear from you.

[@williamwells1862]

I just want to know the size of a conduit for 4 guage wires. Can you make it simple?

[@axeldeleon5054]

Electrical trades nothing is simple

[@ashishnarula8596]

what about bare bonding conductor if any with same conduit size 4AWG

[@schulerruler]

For a bare bonding conductor you will need to use table d5 with the occupied area size to determine how much area it will take up.

[@taghvaee]

Perfect. why don't you continue these videos???????????

[@schulerruler]

Time to create is the only limiting factor for me. And time is limited these days.

[@taghvaee]

@@schulerruler I couldn't find any better content on CEC and have electrician journeyman exam. do you know any good source like SCHULERRULER???

[@houssemkhatimi1209]

Where to use emt and pvc comduits ?

[@schulerruler]

That would depend entirely on your installation and specified requirements.
