There is a missing comma it should say No,
I'll fix it.
Got it, thanks

"What's for dinner, Mom?"Funny how that little thing can change the whole meaning of a sentence.

I think we are answering simply when you are looking for a more comprehensive answer. Inductive heating is a result of two different phases, or a phase and a neutral being separated with metal in between. So, all phases and the neutral must be run in the same conduit together. When runs are parallel each "set" consists of one conductor of each phase and the neutral. There is an exception that allows us to group phases together instead, but only if the conduit and the box, are non-metallic, or a slot is cut in the metal box between conduit entries. When you are putting all of the phases and all of the neutrals in the same conduit you prevent the induction per the code.I don’t find 310.10(H) in either 2020 or 2023.
What concerns me is 366.20 which requires conductors in parallel to be separate groups to prevent current imbalance due to inductive reactance
Does this apply to a short conduit nipple?
