FPN No. 2: When pulling three conductors or cables into & Faceway, if the ratio of the raceway (inside diameter) to the ‘conductor or cable (outside diameter) is between 2.8 and 3.2, ing can occur. While jamming ean occur when pulling four ‘oF more conductors or cables into a raceway, the probability is Notes to Tables a) 2) G) (4) (5) ©) 1) 932 See Informative Annex C for the maximum number of conductors and fixture wires, all ofthe same size (total cross-sectional area including insulation) permitted in trade sizes of the applicable conduit or tubing. Table 10.1.1.1 applies only to complete conduit: or tubing systems and is not intended to apply to sections of conduit or tubing used to protect exposed wiring from physical damage. Equipment grounding or bonding conductors, ‘where installed, shall be included when calculating conduit or tubing fill. The actual dimensions of the equipment grounding or bonding conductor (insulated or bare) shall be used inthe calculation ‘Where conduit or tubing nipples having a maximum length not to exceed 600 mm are installed between bboxes, cabinets, and similar enclosures, the nipples shall be permitted to be filled to 60 percent of their total cross-sectional area, and 3.10.2.6(B)(3)(a) adjustment factors need not apply to this condition. For conductors not included in Chapter 10, such as multiconductor cables and optical fiber cables, the actual dimensions shall be used. For combinations of conductors of different sizes, ‘use actual dimensions or Table 5 and Table 10.1.1.5A for dimensions of conductors and Table 10.1.1.4 for the applicable conduit or tubing dimensions. When calculating the maximum number of ‘conductors or cables permitted in a conduit or tubing, all of the same size (total cross-sectional area, including insulation), the next higher whole number ‘shall be used to determine the maximum number of 8) 0) (10) ay (12) conductors permitted when the calculation results in a decimal greater than ot equal to 0.8. When calculating the size for conduit or tubing permitted for a single conductor, one conductor shall be permitted when the calculation results in a decimal sreater than or equal to 0.8. Where bate conductors ate permitied by other -seetions of this Code, the dimensions for bare conductors in Table 10.1.1.8 shall be permitted. Armulticonductorcable, optical fiber cable,orflexible cord of two or more conductors shall be treated as a single conductor for calculating percentage conduit cr tubing fill area. For cables that have elliptical cross sections, the cross-sectional area calculation shall be based on using the major diameter of the ellipse as a circle diameter. Assemblies of single insulated conductors without an overall covering shall not be considered a cable when determining ‘conduit or tubing fill area. The conduit or tubing fill for the assemblies shall be calculated based upon the individual conductors. The values for approximate conductor diameter and area shown in Table 10.1.1 5 are based on worst-case scenario and indicate round concentric-lay-stranded conductors, Solid and round concentric-lay-stranded conductor values are grouped together for the Purpose of Table 10.1.1.5. Round compact-stranded conductor values are shown in Table 10.1.1.5A. If the actual values of the conductor diameter and area are known, they shall be permitted to be used. ‘Table sizes for conduits and tubings shown in the tables as “Raceway Size” in mm are referenced to ‘nominal internal diameter. Where industry standards used for sizing conduit and tubing diameters are given as outside diameter, insofar as these tables are ‘concemed, the intemal diameters of these conduits and tubings shall be equal or greater than those shown in Table sizes (Table 10.1.1.4). Ampacities of conductors in raceways shown in the ampacity tables of Chapter 3 arc based on specified conductor fill and ambient temperature rating. Conduit fill more than the specified ampacities as shown in these tables shall be derated accordingly.CHAPTER 10 — TABLES Table 10.1.1.2 Radius of Conduit and Tubing Bends Conduit or Tubing Size One Shot and Full Shoe Benders Other Bends Raceway Size (mm) (mm) (mm) 1S 100 100 20 us 125 25 145 150 32 180 200 40 210 250 50 2400. 300 65 265 375 80 325, 450 90 315 525 100 400 600 125 600 - 750 150 750 900, ‘Table 10.1.1.4 Dimensions and Percent Area of Conduit and Tubing (Areas of Conduit or Tubing for the Combinations of Wires Permitted in Table 10.1.1.1) Cc “Article 358 - Electrical Metallic Tubing EMT) “Article 3462 - Electrical Now | mee se [awe | a] Ba ‘Over? me | ang | tates [Pane] nr | ast [acer | ML on | a” eam) fmm | emmy | cm [com | com | (my 7 fs fm | ot | ss | we os 37 206 182, 106 209 _| 343 20 BL 197, apo fos oe [m6 se [os [ms | ses pss m0 [sa oe fe [os | se an_[ es _| 937 set ar eee [oe [9 os [on [oe ie poe foe [es] aus [0 [9 [are [ins [oss [ea apap ams fom [oe [ome] es | - | - tT = : Se aa Pom [er | es fom | | | PT : eo papa [| ome fm fo | | | : : Sos] ora [soe] 51) von | 95a [100 cai a [oe : Trea Metal Conduit FC) Nominal | Tos nies tvvie | 2 Wires | Internat | Area Wire | 2 Wire — sor | ‘se [320 | Dimer | = wore_| com | ‘S| “S00 (mm) ST amy [teem fry frm) | emmy [envy comm | om [rd wo at» ps | | f ee 163] 2 Se oe ee [| 38 0s 219 [a7 sofas [ar] ase | sea_| ee [es sea | 1068 wpm es oe | vs | em [of a7 [7 so $43 1264 | 7 633.
