Maybee i am thinking to far into this, but i was trying to think if a reason why it would be un acceptable to use a bx strap to secure an individual conductor inside a panel to keep it neat. I have seen guys do this to keep the SEU or feeder conductors neatly dressed inside a panel. The thought i had was that if the clamp and enclosure are steel, and u have a single 2/0 conductor secured under this strap then u are basically creating a ring of metal around that single conductor, as a result creating induction heating. Any thoughts?
