Ok, here is my question. t's sort of a two part-er. We have 2 (2) 3/4 flex and (1) 12/4 MC running through the same factory punched 1 1/2" X 3" hole in metal studs. Here's the question:
A. Is there any violationin running multiple (2 or more) fmc or MC cables through a factory metal stud hole.?
B. Can those cable's / flexs be tie wired together or do they have to be tied individually? (i.e. 3 separate tie wires for 3 separate cables/flexs) ?
The 3/4" flexs will each have (2) 208v circuits - 4 CCC x2 and the 12/4 is 3 CCC for a total of 11 CCC and the flex, if i understand the wording of the code is not a CBALE, therefor the "3 or more" CCC does not apply.
Any help would be appreciated, hopefully my question/s made sense. Thanks guys!!
