Paralell conductors ran in tray then conduits.

Splice in a new installation? Not in our plants........Not unless it is a MV and complex run that just simply can not be done in a single pull. Avoid it like the plague......

I wasn't suggesting that it'd be a good design decision, though I did not embellish to that degree. Mostly just pointing out that splicing is permitted in cable tray.

Aside from pointing out the derating issue in my other post, there would still be a question as to whether the contractor is obligated to provide unspliced conductors.

"In free air" means not enclosed within a raceway, cable armor or jacket, and such. ...

I was referring to multiconductor cable... not single conductor cable.

Single conductor would NOT be appropriate for a drive application.

Single conductor would NOT be appropriate for a drive application.

Which means you wouldn't be able to use a Table for single conductors in free air
