I need to install a bunch of outlets in a computer room underneath their raised floor. The intent is to use wiremold 6000 raceway (see: http://www.legrand.us/wiremold/race...-raceway/6000-large-raceway.aspx#.UHyIt7TNWS1 ) with receptacles installed at each point where a computer cabinet is located. Each receptacle is to be on its own dedicated 30A branch circuit. They have 30 computer cabinets in a row.
This application would seem to run up against the limits on no more than 30ccc in the raceway, which in this application would be 15 circuits. Client needs more than 15 circuits (theres 30 cabinets).
Wiremold provides a fill chart for this product which suggests considerably more conductors can be placed into their product than NEC would seem to allow (see this fill chart PDF: http://www.legrand.us/~/media/C7A780E6EE1342FF8724D0D608901A1F.ashx ). Given the wiremold product is specifically designed for this sort of purpose; do these code limits apply here? I know also that there are some code variations where IT equipment rooms are involved. How might one resolve this issue?
Also to note, this wiremold will run underneath their raised computer flooring which is also used for the rooms cooling.
Any comments are appreciated.
