Two 12-2 AWG and two 14-2 AWG nonmetallic-sheathed cables enter a box. Each cable has an equipment grounding conductor. The 12 AWG conductors are connected to a receptacle. Two of the 14 AWG conductors are connected to a toggle switch. The other two 14 AWG conductors are spliced together because they serve as a switch loop. The box contains two cable clamps. Calculate the minimum cubic-inch volume required for the box.
We are running 3 wires and a ground in a RMC to a control panel with a 60 amp circuit breaker disconnect in the control panel. The conduit is run along the ceiling where the ambient air temperature is 100 degrees. The control panel feeds our secondary cooling pump. What size are the ungrounded conductors? All conductors have typeTHHN insulation.
