            a related note, I’ve become good friends with some of the
            inspectors in San Francisco and they called me yesterday
            with a question. Is it okay to run <u>individual</u> DC
            conductors through EMT for wire management purposes? We have
            always run paired positive and negative conductors in
            conduit so the question had never occurred to me. Obviously,
            you have to bond both ends of the conduit if it is over 250
            v. I know that AC would have induction issues with running
            individual conductors but I’m not sure with DC.</span></p>
