Re: CQD answer published Monday, February 25, 2019 -Wet Location
Charlie, I'm a little behind but was wondering why your answer to the Class 2 cable in PVC conduit in a wet location had to be rated for a wet location. If the cable is in the conduit doesn't the conduit protected it from the weather so the inside would be dry?
Thanks for the continuing education information,

Answer:
Hey Virginia thanks for your follow up question and you are welcome. The interior of raceways installed in wet locations is also considered to be a wet location as stated in 300.9. Even if raceways are "sealed" in the wet location, condensation can occur due to temperature changes.
