Re: Raceway

This is usually a local standard. The NEC is not specific in a measurement. Read 230.70(A)(1)

And please, turn off the caps!

Re: Raceway

As long as you can get the appropriate connectors or adapters on the conduit, it can be as short as you want.

Wow, caps do make it hard to read. I read Minimum as Maximum, I agree with Bryan.

Re: Raceway

I don't think that Roger meant any offense by his remark. It is common courtesy online or in e-mail not to type in caps.
It is difficult to read and is perceived as shouting.

Anyway, they're right. It's usually up to the POCO. Around here it's 15ft.(max.)

Poolboy is correct, I didn't mean any offense and your caps are perceived as yelling. All I can say is, it's simply to bad that you didn't like my answer.

You show up here in a panic screaming and then have the audacity to get your panties wadded up.

You list yourself as a journeyman have you read the section I pointed you too? I would like an answer and how you interpret it.

BTW, why are you using SCH 80 for this?

Re: Raceway

You edited your post and changed the word "minimum" to "maximum" hence all the confusion. :roll:

Re: Raceway

nmbme, In my area, unless I am in a city, the POCO is my AHJ; but you are correct, I should have said AHJ.

Roger, I did not to mean to sound so much like I was speaking for you.

I knew when I read this post earlier that it said minimum, not maximum. I thought roger and bphgravity had it pretty much summed up.Then I checked the post again and wondered how I missed that. nmbme, that's not nice.

Actually 230.70(A)(1) has to do with location of service equipment as it relates to the routing of service conductors. What else could "inside, nearest the point of entrance of the service conductors" possibly refer to? As far as what that means, it's a matter of local interpretation. Someone stated 15 feet in their area, here in SE Wisconsin, it's 6 feet. The only real answer is to contact your local AHJ and ask. Whatever the AHJ says esentially goes on this one, as the code is left pretty vague.

Well, I hold more than a Journeymans card.

What state do you hold this Journeyman card in?

the section you were referring to has to do with service equipment .?

And exactly what did this section say about the location of this service equipment?

I am asking about the "raceway" from the service equipment to the meter base.

As I said before, it is mostly a local issue, read 230.70(A)(1)

Now, are you going to edit your post after they have been answered again?

Re: Raceway

Sched. 40 or 80? doesn't make much difference.
I believe that if this raceway is before the service disconnecting means it is service equipment.
Since the NEC does not state a length and it is afterall a permissive code then anything would be permissible. That is where the AHJ steps in, and voltage drop

edit: man, i type to s l o w

Thats a good one Roger, and appropriate.

Re: Raceway

For someone as smart as you, it's hard to believe that you would ask such a simple question. Do like roger recommended and read 230.70(A)(1).Welcome to the forum and keep an open mind. Sorry if I sounded a little gruff, you are right, it's okay to edit.
