Understanding NEC Vol. 1. Page 322 states; 312.5(C)Ex. (g) Conductor fill is limited to 60%, wording of the text book.
However, in the N.E.Code book (g) doesn't say that at all. the complete text of (g) is; Where installed as a conduit or tubing, the allowable cable fill does not exceed that permitted for complete conduct or tubing systems by Table 1 of Chapter 9 of this Code and all applicable notes thereto.
The way I read this is Chap. 9, Table 1 Note: 4 applies the 60% to nipples not longer than 24inches.
In the Code 312.12(C)Ex. says (in part) raceways not less than 18 inches and not more than 10 ft. in length, (g) says to treat it as a complete raceway not as a nipple.
Fellas, either the book is in error or I'm missing something in my interpretation.
Will someone please expand on the subject. :ashamed1:
