Welcome to the forum, but Union or Nonunion affiliation is a blind issue here.

Dnk,

Someone is not a word. I think you meant to say some one.

Local3Jr,

In case you don't know, We're a mixed group here, we don't talk about affiliations. We focus on the Codes and doing the job better and safer.

With that said, Welcome to ECN.

Yep, Box off-sets count too!

You have no idea how many times I say that to people that have been at this for years.

And I'll take a stap at Local3jr's Q?

Chicago, SF, and NYC. If not LA.

Yes, let's say three-phase...

(Oops-forgot that little important issue)

Hmmm...

I get 161 #8's in a 4" EMT non-cont rated will net me 17.5A and a 20A Breaker.

Correct?

In a 2 story dwelling do you need smokes down stairs even if there is no hallway?

In a basement you have 2 exits does code require lights to be on 3, ways

If you have an ISO ground bus in a sub panel can you take this wire and bond it directly to the cold water pipe?

When wiring an Elevator when and why do you a Shunt Trip Breaker?

3 phase 480v A/C unit has a 600V disconnect slow blow fuses does the breaker still need to be HVAC rated?


How many breakers are allowed in an out building sub panel before you need a main disconnect on that sub panel.

The foreman tells you; above the ceiling is a conditioned space. Does this mean you have to use compression fittings? What about phone and data cable, fire, class 2 wires? Does it need to be in EMT?
