Is a separate ground wire required for each circuit in a conduit?

Not normally. An elaboration of what circuits are in the conduit and what type of conduit it is would be useful, though, and necessary to give a definitive answer.


How many number 12 thhn wire can you fit into half inch conduit?

9 - Is this a test answer or do you just want to know for a project you're doing? Take a look at NEC chapter 9 - tables 4 and 5 (in the 2005 edition at least)


What size conduit do you need to install a 4 wire?

NEC code table C10 has conduit fill charts. google for it. Per the table, 1 1/4" inch conduit can support 7 #4 cables. The 1 inch conduit allegedly can support 4 cables but it will be very tight and I would go for the extra room in a 1.25" conduit.


What size conduit do you need to install a 0000 wire?

4/0 gauge wire, depending on its insulation type is rated from 230-260 amps. Assuming you are running a new power supply with the 4/0 wire, you will have a minimum or three 4/0 conductors and a ground wire for a single phase power supply and four conductors with ground for a three phase power supply. Three 4/0 wires require a minimum 2 inch conduit. Four 4/0 wires require a minimum 2 and 1/2 inch conduit. These conduit sizes I'm quoting come directly from the NEC, the National Electric Code. These sizes of conduit are determined by the basic rule that all the conductors in a conduit are not to exceed 40% of the volume of the pipe. The other 60% of air space is required for heat dissipation.


Electrical metallic tubing would be used in an electrical installation because it?

The type of conduit system is governed by two factors. One the code book states what type of system can be places in what specific locations. The second factor is what the electrical engineer specifies that what he wants the conduit system to be on his project. EMT is used in the majority of jobs for industrial and commercial projects. As a conduit system it is easy to install and more circuits can be added to the system very easily abiding by the code book rules for conduit fill.

How many markings should a rigid nonmetallic conduit have?

There will be at lease three and on some conduits additional information. There will be the manufacture's name, type of material the conduit is manufactured from and the diameter size of the conduit. For example Scepter PVC 100 mm (for American customers 4") conduit.


What type of conduit is used for 480 volt 3-wire?

Conduit is just a medium to get the wires from one place to another. There is no voltage restrictions in low voltage wiring (750 volts or less). When it comes to conduit fill, electricians are governed by the electrical code conduit fill tables. The conduit is sized to accommodate the conductor size for a specific load.


To rewire a 2 bedroom property that was built in 1956 Can we use the old conduit or Do we need to replace it Currently earth is attached to the conduit itself Any special cables we can use?

If the existing conduit has not been intentionally or accidentally interrupted it is still an adequate ground. If you are in doubt about this or if a test proves that it is not grounded, new conductors including a new ground wire can be pulled inside the conduit. If the existing conduit is flexible conduit and it has "jake" type twist connectors, rewiring with a ground is advisable as those type of connectors do not maintain a good ground connection.
