Range and receptacles

[jrcoles]

I would like to run 2 range circuits and three recptacle circuits in the same conduit. Will the Code allow me to do so.

Re: Range and receptacles

Yes, if you size the conductors a bit larger than ?normal,? and upsize the conduit to match. Installing more than three current-carrying conductors in a single conduit requires you to de-rate the ampacity of each. As a result, you may find that it cost more to do it that way.

Since you appear to be the project?s cost estimator, then I suggest you ask one of the project?s electricians or engineers to talk to you about the alternatives. If you want to find the least expensive approach, then you need to know the details of each possible approach.

Thanks. Its seems in this case I would increase the size of my conductors since they all are in the same location.

Thanks
