Title: Transformer to Terminal Wiring Post by: Eric V on April 02, 2008, 09:03:02 AM I am installing a heating system for a large entertainment area in my basement. For convenience, I would like to locate the transformers in a utility room. The wiring run from transformers to terminal boards is approx. 28 ft. Installation instructions say to use #6 wire for this distance.
I have #6 THHN wire. Does this wire need to be in conduit, if it runs through enclosed wall? If so, are there limitations on size and type of conduit for this application? Title: Re: Transformer to Terminal Wiring Post by: bbillhartz on April 03, 2008, 08:23:18 AM Eric,
Unfortunately, I cannot answer your question, as installations of this nature vary depending on where you live. In many instances, a conduit is not needed. A proper (and inspector-friendly) installation is to be made in accordance to local codes and ordinances. These codes may require special wiring or a conduit (plastic or metal) in the walls. |
