Old Post HR's

[Alwayslearningelec]

Came across this old thread. So if you had EMT with circuit out of a panel to a box right outside the closet then switched over to MC cables out to a hr box in the field would you consider the MC cable "homeruns"? Thanks.

"'Homerun'" definition

Hello all, New to the forum. I'm also new to being an estimator. Working on a bigger project so I need to make sure I'm taking this off correctly. Engineer is allowing MC cable for branch circuits, but not for Homeruns. 'Homerun' isn't defined in the specs, and I know the NEC doesn't define it...

If you had one circuit in both EMT and then MC cable IMO the entire run would be a homerun.

I might consider the circuits as home-runs but not the MC cables since they hit a junction before the panel box.

The circuit home runs. Makes no difference what it does it with, as long as it goes from the panel to the load without supplying anything else along the way.

Agreed. This is more an electrical question than a mechanical one.
