88 - Why is conduit fill important?
21/03/2018 Duración: 09minHave you had a chance to check out Codey, the new VEA (virtual electrical assistant)? If not then check it out here: www.electricianslibrary.com/codey On today’s episode I’m going to talk about why conduit fill is important. I’m not so much going to tell you how to determine conduit fill, I think that will be something for a whole nother episode, I just want to tell you why its so important. In a nutshell, minding the conduit fill is important for safety and performance. You see all the time on the interwebs pictures of boxes that are so full that you literally couldn’t fit anything else in them, and that usually means that the raceways are pretty full as well. So let's dig in! --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/stuff-electricians-should-know/support
