Raceways
• Damage e.g. physical, chemical
• Human Contact
• Easy Wiring e.g. wiring, maintenance
• Grounding for Metal Conduit
• Limit the scope of damage e.g. fire, short circuit

Conduits – RMCRigid Metal Conduit
• Strongest conduit (except concrete :p)
• (Usually) Galvanized
• Usage: All weather, all terrain
• Standard: ” – 6” (15mm – 150mm) and 3m length
5
Assumption University Thailand
Conduits – IMCIntermediate Metal Conduit
• Thinner than RMC
• (Usually) Galvanized
• Usage: All weather, all terrain
• Standard: ” – 4” (15mm – 100mm) and 3m in length
6
Assumption University Thailand
Conduits – EMTElectrical Metallic Tubing
• Thinner than IMC & RMC
• Not allow to have thread
• Usage: Only in building (not under ground, not for high voltage)
• Standard: ” – 4” (15mm – 100mm) and 3m in length

Conduits – FMCFlexible Metal Conduit
• Metal conduit with the high flexibility
• Usage: Vibration or Need Bending
• Standard: ” – 3” (15mm – 80mm)
• Installation: Need support every 1.5m and 0.3m
(in case of termination point / junction box)

Conduits – RNCRigid Nonmetallic Conduit
• Built from nonmetallic material: e.g. PVC
• Disadvantage: Not as strong as metal and limit
temperature usage
• Advantage: Sustain to erosion, humidity, impact
• Usage: Exposed, Conceal, Wet & Himid or underground (usually using “duct bank”)

Conduits Installation - # of Cables
• Need space inside conduit:
– Heat Ventilation
– Cable’s insulator will not be damaged.

Assumption University Thailand
Wireways• Raceways are folded from sheet metal.
• General usage in open area. If outside building, specify “Raintight”
• Not use when risk of severe physical damage.
• Height: 50, 75, 100, 150, 200 mm
• Width: 50, 75, 100, 150, 200, 250, 300 mm23
Assumption University Thailand
Wireways
• Use current rated for the metal conduit.
• Use reduction factor, if > 30 cables.
• Need supports for every 1.5m.
• Cannot use through the wall or floor.
• Cannot use as grounding cable.
• Use no more than 20% fill.24
Assumption University Thailand
Auxiliary Gutters
• Similar to wireways
• Collect the cable before distribute.

Cable Trays• Cable Tray is not Raceways, but is
commonly used in industry to support cable.
• Cheap and easy to use.
• Only for specific cable types, e.g. multi-core cables

Fittings
• Accessories to be used with race way.
• Purpose
– To firmly hang the raceway
– To smoothly change the direction of raceway
– To easily pull the cable into the raceway
– To properly splice the cables
32

Fittings - Boxes
33
• Termination point (switch, receptacle) or Stop point (splice, tap) for the wiring system.
• Metal or non-metal.
• Sizing is based on the required space.
• Have no hole for the object larger than 7.5 mm in diameter to pass thru.
