What is conduit fitting?

Conduit fitting is used on metal pipes that house electrical wires. These fittings are not only to connect the various pieces together, but to keep a relatively water tight seal to the wires.


Which metal is used for electrical contacts?

Copper is used the majority of the time. Gold is sometimes because it does not corrode. Tungsten is used in light bulbs because it is a good resistor and resists the flow of electrons. Aluminum and silver are also sometimes used. There is also some recent research in safely using sodium and lithium.


What is the current carrying capacity of 185 Sq mm?

As a rough estimate, for medium voltage cables directly buried in earth, I use 2 A / mm^2 for copper conductors, and 1.2 A/mm^2 for aluminum conductors. However, the installed capacity of a cable is mostly dependent on how much heat can be dissipated to its surroundings, and ultimately the maximum temperature of the insulation material. For this reason, it is important to know how the cable will be installed, what conductor is used (Al or Cu), the cable insulation (for both thickness and operating temperature limits), soil thermal resistance (if buried), and if there are other heat sources (cables, process pipes, incident solar radiation, etc) are nearby. There are several cable manufacturers that provide reference current ratings for nominal installations. Check Nexans, Prysmian, or Okonite (US dimensions).


What is difference between cleat and conduit wiring?

Cleat wiring is exposed while in conduit wiring the wires are well protected inside tubes/pipes.
