Line and Load

[CaptainConduit]

Is there a code requirement that says line and load wires of the same circuit can't be ran in the same conduit???

 

[electricalperson]

dont believe so. never had any inspector tell me it was wrong when i done it. if by line and load you mean gfci wiring. if its a service you cannot put conductors off of the load side of service equipment in the same conduit as line

230.7 has mention of service conductors.

If line and load of the same circuit can not be in the same conduit we have a major problem with light switches.

The only time I have ever experienced this is with VFD's, and it is not a code issue I believe, but rather a manufacturer recomendation to keep line and load seperate.

GFCI protected conductors for a pool light cannot occupy the same conduit as other conductors. 680.23(F)(3)

Then I guess we need a better definition of "line" and "load" from the OP'er.


Captain?

Larry, Line / Load is Line / Load , the application is what is needs to be defined.

Well, yeah. That's what I meant. Line and load of what?

If you mean line and load of a U.P.S.
No,Most of the time the Mfgr. prohibits it.
But as far as the N.E.C. there are a few places that prohibit it too.
