Re: NM or UF ?

Now see, this is one big reason I'm not qualified to be an electrician or inspector; I was totally clueless about the mechanical ratings of NM or UF.

Do they have shear and tensile ratings? :confused:

Re: NM or UF ?

I have been wondering just what happened to people when they had to much code information. Looks like some massive Overcurrent conditions here. Any body know what OCPD needs to be used on this thread. :eek:

Probably more like fault (phase to phase) conditions and damage to forum not rated for the available AIC :eek:
 
Re: NM or UF ?

We have talked about the residential electricans tying their ladders to the rack with cable but I haven?t learned what to use if I am using single conductor.

Would the conductor have to be ?W? listed or would it need to be a bare conductor in order to ?bond? the ladder to the rack.

Also, would the conductor need to be twisted or could I use a crimp type connector.

All these similes are cute but I think we need to solve this problem as soon as possible.

No. Use wire nuts. Makes it easier to remove the ladder.

If said wire nut is UL listed for that size conductor ;) Might have to use a split bolt :roll:

If we use wire nuts, do we have to pre-twist? :confused:
 
Re: NM or UF ?

Since this wiring will be located in areas subject to vehicle travel, it will need to be protected from physical damage.
 
Re: NM or UF ?

cad weld each time you put the ladder up at the end of the day MMMMMM my puchasing agent would have a fit ;) :p
