Strip Light feed

[mstrlucky74]

Would the normal ckt(#22) have to be feed at each separate light, making for (6) feeds or could you just bring one feed in at the end and run fixture wire inside? Thanks.

Need to know current requirement of each light module, total number of modules in strip, and maybe length of wire within strip.

I see em in there

Very likely you will need to keep things seperate

Really,....

Really,....

If you want to know for sure what wire size to use if you daisy chain them, yes.
#22 might not be good enough for all in parallel depending on the current.
In theory....

It looks like the em light is fed from the same panel, different circuit.

#22 might not be good enough...

I think he means #22 as in Panel B Circuit 22.

He will probably bid using #12 AWG wire more than likely.

The installer will probably feed #12 through the strips and suitcase the ballast leads.

Thanks, I agree. When I posted before I was looking at the pdf on my droid and did not look at the circuit numbers.

If these two circuits both originate from the same panel then it would be code compliant to feed from one end if it fully complies with 410.64(C).

410.64(C)Luminaires Connected Together. Luminaires designed
for end-to-end connection to form a continuous assembly,
or luminaires connected together by recognized wiring
methods, shall be permitted to contain the conductors of a
2-wire branch circuit, or one multiwire branch circuit, sup-
plying the connected luminaires and shall not be required to
be listed as a raceway. One additional 2-wire branch circuit
separately supplying one or more of the connected lumi-
naires shall also be permitted.

YEs I did mean circuit #22. And thank you. Oh, by the way... IT IS ALWAYS in the spec to keep norm/em ckts separate but is that NEC code as well?

It depends on what you mean by normal and EM circuits. If the are referring to the circuits in your drawing which are from the same normal panel then those are not EM circuits.
