I have recently been doing some studying the NEC and need another opinion here. My question is on Article 314.16 (B)1. Specifically, if I were to leave a coil of wire in a j-box long enough to be spliced onto in the future would that wire need to be counted as 1 wire or 2? My thinking is that it would need to be counted as 2. (the loop would need to be 12" long so that when cut in half you would have (2) 6" pieces). This would make it "twice the the minimum length required for free conductors in 300.14" However, the text that I am studying from seems to be counting this as one conductor. What do you guys think?
Thanks, Dave
