After reading this thread and rereading 314.28 things seem to go together and make a lot more sense.
I am on the same page with Eric.
When the conductors are spliced the box dimensions are the same as un-spliced conductors, except the distance between conduits containing the spliced conductors is not required to be the six times distance. Example: If underground USE-2 conductors (USE-2 conductors are not listed to enter a building) enter a box that is located on an outside wall of a building and these conductors are spliced to THWN conductors to enter the building, I would consider these spliced conductors to be on the same circuit and phase but not consider them as the same conductor.
Its threads like this that keep my interest and keeps me hooked on this forum. Thanks everyone for great ideas and post. I?m amazed that I never thought of these NEC sections this way before.
