While this is true, due to the ampacity nature of #14, 12 & 10, you do not have to worry about derating #12THHN until you get to nine current carrying conductors (CCC).Any more than 3 current-carrying conductors and you have to start de-rating.
Wouldn't that be the case even if a separate neutral were run for each hot?IT has almost NOTHING to do with the "neutral failing". If only one leg "trips" the other one will still be live. If it is a 'shared" outlet, the technician could receive a shock from the live side while working on it.
quote; It looks like the number is 16.
If that is in a 3/4" conduit, you would need a tractor to pull it IF you could get them into the conduit in the first place, (you might need a conduit with a bigger i.d. than the o.d.).
This is also a code requirement now.Yes, Tie wrap the wire to the outside of the conduit.
Hold on!I'll run 2 blacks, 2 reds and 2 blues (?).... One of each color on the red phase bus... and one of each color on the black phase bus.
Each set of colors will share one nuetral white wire.
Black Red, Blue Black, Red Blue works on single phase. Would be just as good to use the two blacks for circuits one and two, two reds for circuits three and four, two blues.......Hold on!
What you describe suggests 3-phase? Is this in a home? Commercial building condo? What?
I guess I misunderstood what he said. Looking back on it I see I did.Black Red, Blue Black, Red Blue works on single phase. Would be just as good to use the two blacks for circuits one and two, two reds for circuits three and four, two blues.......
I do something similar on service upgrades a lot because it makes it easy to keep track of circuits and because I usually have several short spools left floating around waiting for a higher purpose. Couple or three EMT's piped into the crawl and/or attic, spider out with NM from there.I guess I misunderstood what he said. Looking back on it I see I did.
I just don't see the point of black, red & blue. Unless of course he has a bunch of it laying around.
This is awkward, but...
