Greetings,
Thanks for the great Code information. How many 4/0 XHHW wires can fit into a 2-inch EMT?

A
Answer:
Hi Tom,
Section 358.22 refers to Table 1, Chapter 9. Note 1 to Table 1 in Chapter 9 refers Code users to Annex C. Here you find the maximum number of conductors of all the same size conductors for each type of conduit or tubing in question. For EMT, Table C.1 applies. Find XHHW in the left column and view across to the right to find that 2-inch EMT can carry (4) 4/0 XHHW conductors.
