[RE-wrenches] Pv wire

[Bill Brooks]

Kirk,

 

The tables in Appendix C are just for reference. They are not part of the Code. The only real part of the code is in chapter 9:

 

Table 1 Percent of Cross Section of Conduit and Tubing for

Conductors and Cables

Number of Conductors      and/or Cables Cross-Sectional Area (%)

1                                               53

2                                               31

Over 2                                      40

 

 

Many conductors do not have standard cross-sectional areas.


Bill.

Yeah, 1k/2k wire shows a diameter of 0.26" on the spec sheet, or 0.053093 in^2.

Nice calculator. RHH may be equivalent to 600 volt pv wire, but 1k/2k pv wire is thicker.

I use this site when I need a quick answer. Use RHH (covered) with one conductor. You get the same answer.

Hi folks,
What is the proper approximate in2  area to use for #10 1kva/2kva  pv wire for calculating conduit fill? I'm on a job site and don't have the specs with me. Thanks.
