Wiring exercise I finished less than two hours ago! Tonight I finished this final wiring exercise before the exam. It's a overview where we had to install everything we learned to use. I installed absolutely everything that's on this 4' X 8' plywood sheet! Here's what I installed: - NMD 90 14/2 - 1/2" EMT - 1/2" rigid PVC - AC 90 14/2 - Liquid-tight flexible PVC conduit - Liquid-tight flexible metallic conduit - TECK 90 14/2 - Rigid metallic tubing Here's a little challenge: could you recognize ALL of the cables and conduits in the picture?

Looks good Vince!, my guess on the conduit and wires types from left to right:

1/2" EMT on the far left, 1/2" PVC to the right of the EMT then, 14/2 AC 90. The 14/2 NMD 90 is the wire joining the square range box and the octagon box with the EMT. The flex PVC is between the range box and the 4 X 4 square box. The 14/2 TECK 90 is the black flex with the wires already inside, the flex liquid-tight is the other flex without the wires and finally the rigid is on the far right.

Should've made it harder to guess Razz

You got all right LOL. I guess you were already familiar with those right?

All I would find by me would be 20mm steel thinwall conduit ( mostly older installations and those specced by a parastatal , or for arduous conditions or corrosive locations), 20mm PVC conduit ( pretty much anything other than low cost housing for sure) and plain Surfix cabling ( low cost - either buried in plaster, surface or run in trunking - most common ) as the most used cabling methods.

The most popular is the Redi-board, which has the inside part of the prepayment meter, the 2 socket outlets, the light housing for an up to 60W GLS lamp, or CFL lamp that fits, and the earth leakage breaker, 2 20A MCB's, a 10A MCB and a single spare position if you wanted to wire in more sockets. This is used in low cost houses as a step up from illegal connections, being connected to the actual main breaker via the 10mm ABC cable with the 2 data cores providing communications to the 2 part meter.

Great job! Did you do EMT Bending? I did the same myself!
rjluna2   [Jan 18, 2011 at 07:13 PM]
The ridgid metal tubing is required by the State of Illinois on all building due to the previous fire experience. But, in State of Georgia is not required to have ridgid metal tubing.
GullWhiz   [Jan 18, 2011 at 07:23 PM]
Yes also Illinois is VERY STRICT on fire safety, I know because I lived in Illinois for 3 years and apparently it is sorta related to the Great Chicago Fire!!!
rjluna2   [Jan 18, 2011 at 08:20 PM]
Yep, I visited the Great Chicago Fire of 1871 museum more than 25-30 years ago!

Jace: I started with straight lengths of the different conduits and bent them myself! Including the rigid! I don't know if you bent rigid conduit before, but it's really hard!

Over here rigid is only required in places where explosions are prone to happen. Otherwise you can use EMT, which is much easier to work with.

I tried to bend a 1 inch 1/4 conduct which is the BIGGEST bendable conduct....near impossible...but possible!
TiCoune66   [Jan 18, 2011 at 10:04 PM]
1 1/4" EMT right? I don't think it was a rigid LOL Shocked

Yep I've been told by my teacher 1 1/4" was the biggest size possible to bend manually. For bigger there's a special machine for it.
gailgrove   [Jan 24, 2011 at 01:36 AM]
Yeah, try bending 4 inch conduit by hand Laughing
Form109   [Jan 24, 2011 at 01:42 AM]
I Can bend 4" Manually,i am THOR (Thunderclap!) Razz
TiCoune66   [Jan 24, 2011 at 02:32 AM]
Alright Devonte, film it and post it on YouTube! I wait for the link Razz
Form109   [Feb 13, 2011 at 10:29 AM]
nahh i might bruise my finger...you do it vince. ^_^
GullWhiz   [Feb 13, 2011 at 04:28 PM]
Devonte, you SAID you can bend 4 inch manually....THEN WE WANT TO SEE YOU DO IT ON YOUTUBE (buddy you brought it up!!!)
TiCoune66   [Feb 13, 2011 at 04:45 PM]
Yup, we want a manually bent 4" conduit! Razz

We'll make things easier for you though: it can be EMT if you want, not necessarily rigid Wink
joe_347V   [Feb 13, 2011 at 09:38 PM]
Yep, I'm looking forward to this video too Razz
GullWhiz   [Feb 13, 2011 at 10:15 PM]
Yep...I wanna see
gailgrove   [Feb 14, 2011 at 12:02 AM]
Where all waiting Devonte Laughing
Form109   [Feb 14, 2011 at 12:36 AM]
