You can go with flexible plastic conduit for cables or one with a metal base. Here are three popular options to consider. Material

You need to choose your fill table. This will depend on the type of conduit and wire that you’re using. This chart for conduit size for cable is based on the 2017 NEC and uses common conduit types and wires. If you don’t have access to the NEC book, you may find it helpful in determining how many wires you can safely place in conduit. Typically houses and protects electrical power and telecommunications cables, e.g. an outdoor utility cabinet or an outdoor telecom equipment cabinet They’re able to resist a variety of the harshest chemicals and can effectively withstand impacts and toxic materials that might pass through the cables. These stainless steel conduit products are known for their versatility, as they are found in many applications that span a number of industrial fields. The most popular of these uses are in the steel, foundry, marine and shipbuilding industries. A flexible stainless steel conduit is also the ideal choice for outer casting for temperature measuring devices and sensitive fibre optics.

1. Which conduit material?

sq. mm) x 4 + (62.77 sq. mm) x 2 = 219.98 sq. mm Step 3: Find the conduit’s minimum space available Available in a variety of sizes, you can easily find the perfect size to fit your bundle of cables in. Returning to the example in Step 2, you’re using a total of 6 wires. This means that your maximum fill percentage is 40%. You already have your total wire area, so you can now calculate the minimum conduit area: They encase your cables and keep them tidy, but they also allow you to keep them hidden so they don’t ruin the rest of your décor.

Using the wire cross-sectional areas you’ve already calculated, you can now determine the minimum conduit size that you need. If you’re using electrical metal tubing (EMT) conduit, you’ll see that the closest size that you need is a 1 in conduit, which gives you a 39% fill. Conduit cable fill chart You’ll need the NEC book to calculate conduit size for cable. If you’re outside of the U.S. and don’t have access to the book, you may find this conduit cable fill charthelpful. You’ll use NEC tables to find wire-type diameters, fill amounts and conduit diameters. Step 1: Open your NEC book to chapter 9They are also the perfect solution for cables in applications that require a high degree of corrosion protection, but where protection from ingress of water is not required. With their temperature range sitting at -100°C to +600°C, you can be assured that this material is perfect for the job. The flexible stainless steel conduit range on offer from Flex-It is more than durable enough to cope in the most challenging of environments. Across from the wire gauge, you’ll find the maximum number of wires that can be placed inside your conduit diameter
