Re: TC without conduit

The magnitude is not a set value yet since there is still testing going on. I am guessing in the range of 10 watts or so. The length of the segment is yet to be determined, but the maximum will be based on line losses, both inductive and ohmic. The losses are the part I am familiar with in calculating, but I am new to learning the rules in what I am exactly able to run
 
Re: TC without conduit

I believe if you look at the cost of a suitable cable versus pvc or EMT with THHN the cable will come out more expensive--you are talking of power to instruments so most likely at least 14/2 cable.I work with it every day and the cable comes out much more expensive. Just a suggestion but run in conduit.
 
Re: TC without conduit

The big two questions are cost and is it allowed. Obviously, the cheapest and easiest installation that is legal for running 120VAC/240VAC along a perimeter (not sure how many power sources we have, therefore not sure how long each length is) is what we are aiming for. If there is no "cheap" installation, such as we need cable tray or another installation on top of the wire/cable, this may not be a practical approach
