I would like to use a 12" X 12" wire way 12' long over 7 PVC conduits coming out of the ground in a building. Do I have to apply 314.28(A) (2) for angle pulls, there are 3-2.5" and 4-2" conduits, the 2.5" have 2-4/0 and 1-2/0 conductors each, the 2" has 2-1/0 and 1-#2 conductors each. at the opposite end I will be installing an 800 amp main panel on top of the wire way with nipples to the main panel. the wires were installed by another electrician and are short to reach the intended panel, I will be splicing the aluminum conductors in the wire way and continuing on to the main panel for termination. If I had to follow the requirements in 314.28 (A) (2) I would need a box 28" high, Reading 376.23 A & B I think as long as I meet the requirements for deflected conductors in 312.6(A) and since I'm using it as a splice box instead of a pull box I should be ok. any thoughts?
