What is the maximum fill percentage when exactly two conductors are installed in a raceway?
a.40 percent
b.31 percent
c.53 percent
d.60 percent
Explicación
Two conductors are limited to 31 percent fill, a lower figure than the 40 percent allowed for three or more, because two round conductors of similar size can jam in a bend and damage insulation during the pull. One conductor may fill 53 percent, and 60 percent applies only to a nipple 24 inches or shorter.
