Moving Violations Video No. 279: Find Your Own Path

Jan. 19, 2023

Russ shows us an all too common violation of NEC Sec. 300.11(C).

In this episode, Russ shows us an all too common violation of NEC Sec. 300.11(C). This section of the Code notes that a raceway like this electrical metallic tubing (EMT) can’t be used to support other cables or non-electrical equipment. Unfortunately, many installers ignore this rule because it's quick and easy to simply strap the new cables to the existing raceway.
