To determine

Choose the correct answer for the largest size solid conductor that is permitted to be installed in a raceway.

Answer to Problem 1R

The correct answer for the largest size solid conductor that is permitted to be installed in a raceway is 10 AWG.

Explanation of Solution

Description:

According to the American Wire Gauge (AWG) standards, the copper and aluminium wires used in electrical installations are graded for specific size. A tube that is used to protect and route electrical wiring is called as electrical conduit. A closed conduit that forms a physical path for electrical wiring is called as a raceway.

Due to the flexibility and ease of handling and pulling, 10 AWG conductors are used in a raceway.

Conclusion:

Thus, the correct answer for the largest size solid conductor that is permitted to be installed in a raceway is 10 AWG.
