Southwire conduit fill

About this appSouthwire has created this great tool to help electricians, engineers and contractors answer the question, “What size conduit do I use” per the NEC®, includes fill percentages and jam probability. If you do not have the NEC book handy or do not want to spend time manually calculating the Conduit Fill %, this is the right app for you. The app provides quick and easy navigation. Enter the Conduit Type and Size and specify your conductors. The App will calculate the Conduit Fill % as per NEC Guidelines. Southwire Company is North America’s leading manufacturer of wire and cable used in the distribution transmission of electricity. Throughout its history, our company has sought to deliver power through our products, our service and by helping empower our customers, employees and communities. The App Answers the question, “What size conduit do I use” includes fill percentages and jam probability per the NEC®.

Overlays over my info bar at the top and don't do anything when you tap it. Update - Southwire reached out and asked me to update the app. I then was able to get past the agreement page. However, I was having trouble getting it to calculate and they then instructed me to hit the + at the bottom of the screen to add another conductor and it then calculated.Southwire CompanyJanuary 16, 2025Hi, have you tried the latest update? If it doesn't work for you, could you contact us at [email protected] so that we can work together to figure it out?The conduit fill calculator is VERY temperamental, when attempting to scroll the screen. You must be very exact on where you touch the screen, or else, instead of scrolling the screen, you change one of the parameters in your plan. It might be more useful on a computer, but is tough to deal with on either of my phones.8 people found this review helpfulCalculator is accurate, but CIC disclaimer needs to go. It takes up way too much space on the screen. I only get one conductor entry and have to scroll. More often than not, I end up selecting a cell entry rather than scrolling. And I cannot see all conductor data without scrolling. Very frustrating!!! Guess I'll have to look for another app....8 people found this review helpfulSouthwire CompanyJanuary 11, 2024Thanks for your feedback. Check out the latest version of Conduit Fill, we've improved scrolling to allow better

#1 Good Day,Does the NEC contain a chart for maximum number of MV105 EPR Cables based on wire size or is it necessary to do a Circular Mils calculation for the 40% fill? I suppose another method would be to check General Cable, Southwire or Okonites web site to see if they have documentation regarding their cables listed.Thank You #2 Update - I found a calculator on Southwires web site that works nicely. Only issue I found is you can not select bare conductor for the ground. Can the ground conductor have THHN insulation in in the same conduit with 15kV EPR cable? Still curios in the NEC offers this as well but I assume there are too many variables to consider to make a common chart. #3 Update - I found a calculator on Southwires web site that works nicely.

Still curios in the NEC offers this as well but I assume there are too many variables to consider to make a common chart. The EGC is permitted to be bare, but a lot of specs that I have seen required it to have 600 volt insulation.As far as chart, there is no one, as there is no standard OD for those types of conductors like there is for the 600 volt conductors. You have to use the published physical specifications of the conductor from the manufacturer or find a calculator from the manufacturer. #4 Thanks Don - I figured there was no NEC chart after I posted my original question for the exact reason you quoted. The 600V insulation on the ground is interesting though because it is in the same pipe as 15kV cable. Your permitted to have cables of different voltages in the same conduit provided the insulation on all of them matches the highest voltage in the conduit. Likely since its not a current carrying conductor this does not apply but did find it interesting to note. Which is why I was looking for the bare copper ground. Then I figured if it fits the max 40% fill with insulation it will certainly fit the max 40% fill without. #5 Years ago I would see specifications for four conductors to have the same insulation.

Note:In Sections/Modify be sure to sag Gap conductor using the initial temperature and tension at which it will be strung (unlike other conductors it is very important that the sagging data here be the same as the conditions under which it is strung as this affects the knee point temperature at which the core carries all the load).Note: The manufacturer recommends you not allow aluminum in compression in Criteria/Bimetallic Cable Model in PLS-CADD with these conductors.

Helps determine the proper wire size for an electrical circuit based on the voltage drop and current carrying capacity of an electrical circuit. Calculate Your Voltage Drop Determines wire size to meet specific voltage drop limits or calculates voltage drop for a specific conductor run. When sizing conductors, calculations limits wire size to voltage drop and NEC ampacity. Southwire's Re3TM Voltage Drop Calculator is designed for applications using AWG and KCMIL sizes only.
