can i get some input here...
we are working on "hotel style" apartments (retirement place), 74 units in this building. each unit has a 90 amp sub-panel. To feed these panels we ran 2-3 w/gnd sub-feeds. Some runs are as far as 350 feet from the meter room.
Anyways, to the point...the foreman had some helpers strapping the cables every 4 feet, the problem is they are doing the three at a time with zip ties and drywall screws!
Next, all the circits i ran in the corridors (12-2 and 12-3 MC Cable), the foreman had me "strap", all in a bundle, with 2 1/2", 2", or 1 1/2" EMT straps.
there is more... i will try to get som pics.
BTW this guy is the VP of the corperation.
