I got a call last week from a guy who wants me to install a couple of 240V receptacles at a commercial/industrial facility so he can plug in his ice cream trucks. He also wants a couple of 120V receptacles for block heaters. The receptacles are going to be installed at the end of a loading dock, approximately 50' from where the conduit will exit the outer wall of the building.
My experience is mainly residential, so I'm not up on what rules there are regarding what type of conduit has to be used in this kind of situation. I was thinking of just using EMT, but then I starting thinking that EMT might not be appropriate and that IMC or RMC might be required. Realistically, the area of the run isn't likely to have a lot of activity, so I think the risk of physical damage is small.
