What would the violation be? Would 400.8 apply since it isn't a permanent installation flexible cord? The pvc is just a sleeve for a temporary power extension cord. It's plug and cord connection on both ends of the extension cord (in the hypothetical scenario)
Isn't Mc and nmb not legal to be installed in a raceway? Wouldn't this also not qualify as physical protection?
MC is specifically allowed and NM is often allowed. NM is specifically allowed to be sleeved in WA by amendment. Inside a complete raceway system it would just need to meet fill requirements. If that office is for more than 100 people NM wouldn't be allowed where not covered by 15 min finish.
See 400.12, Uses not permitted: "As a substitute for the fixed wiring of a structure." Among other things mentioned in that section, such running through holes in suspended ceilings.
It's precisely the fact that that pipe has been installed to it that makes it the most not temporary. You need to deconstruct that to move it. You need tools, and you need to take apart the ceiling. In addition, no one is moving that tank without emptying it, so it just is not portable, movable, etc.
Nope like letgo said as long as you meet conduit fill you can run cables in a raceway.
It was cheaper.
Infinity mentioned that
