I don't think there is a cut and dried code answer to this, because the code doesn't define what a straight pull is and what an angle pull is.

Bob, I agree with your take, in calling this an angle pull, but I think that 376.23(B) applies only to the distance between the raceways. 376.23(A) applies to the physical size of the wireway, which would permit a very small wireway, if the raceways have enough space between them.

I have a change submitted to the 2008 to this section to try to clarify this (I would like to see a 30 degree deflection govern the rules).
