The NEC does not prohibit type NM from being installed in conduit (as long as conduit fill limits are not exceeded) and, in fact, requires it (or other protective means) in 334.15(B) for certain installation conditions

 I believe the issue is conductor heating. Sheathed cable has to be in open-air to maintain its rating.  Conduit that encloses it impacts air flow.   Someone advise if my understanding is incorrect.   I do not fully understand the electrical code. I am not licensed to expound on the electrical code. The only person I've ever encountered that would be even close, would be Mike Holt...

I don't know. I've never thought about doing that. It would be much harder to pull than individual conductors and it would be a waste of conduit fill capacity. > Running twisted separate conductors in conduit would not be. Right. And if it's steel conduit, twisting is not important. 73, Jim K9YC _______________________________________________ RFI mailing list RFI at contesting.comhttp://lists.contesting.com/mailman/listinfo/rfi _______________________________________________ RFI mailing list RFI at contesting.comhttp://lists.contesting.com/mailman/listinfo/rfi
