#10 stranded wire

[Dennis Alwon]

Comment about #8 solid. If it is solid it is not compliant in conduit--310.106(C) for 2011 formerly 310.3 in the 2008

I have used #2 SBTC for ground. SBTC = Solid Bare Tinned Copper.

And it's no fun to work with.

Looking at materials on POCO trucks sometimes there are some rather large solid conductors - always bare conductors.

The #2 was for Verizon. (Now Frontier)

I have run 4/0 solid for grounding grids and I can assure you that you do not want to be pulling it into any size of conduit :happyno:

When your reaching max fill of a conduit stranded is the way to go. Solid works when it's not max fill and you are by yourself.
