hi
anyone know of nec code on 100 amp wire if conduit is needed behind drywall?
i have been having quite the time with local inspectors, got most of it figured out. but the sticking point is 100 amp 3 wire sec feeder cable that runs up the inside of a garage wall to a apartment above the garage to a breaker box. my idea is a feeder cable that is protected with a 100 amp breaker and have wire clamps and no sch 40 or 80 conduit. but i wonder about cable protection, nails etc. so maybe pvc or a flexible conduit? comments please.
thanks
