What you have discribed is not allowed. The NEC states clearly that you have several violation here. I would have write a book on all your problems. I would consult an EC.

I wouldn't do it that way, but was asked where in code would it prohibit all or part of it.

I think you are crossing the line between ?asking for assistance and advice? and ?getting someone else to do your work (or homework) for you.? The book has been written. It is called the NEC.

How about telling us what you have tried, what NEC sections you have read, what you have found, and why that has not yet answered your question? Also, is this a real, existing configuration that you have stumbled across, or is this a hypothetical situation (e.g., test question or homeowner?s suggestion)?

Re: CONDUCTORS -CONDUIT

I was in a discussion with another contractor, and he had seen this, my first thoughts were like highvoltage, but when i went to 338.10(b)(4)(a), which sends part I and II OF 334, I couldn't find where it said it said it had to be in conduit all the way.
