We are running PLFA cables inside a facility, and have come across a question regarding conduit as support means. Per the code, PLFA cable cannot be run on the outside of conduit (760.143), however nothing is stated for NPLFA cable. Also, it seems to allow PLFA cable to run exposed, but only on ceilings or sidewalls and out of harms way (760.24), and supported with zip-ties.
Anybody know why PLFA cables cannot be run on conduit even if its shielded, yet can be run on building structure supports? Can anyone confirm (or have experience) regarding the allowance of NPLFA cable run on the outside of conduit? I know I've seen it.
