For RT-2 at Wendy's, which size conduit is required to run from the panel?

To determine the appropriate size of conduit required for running from the panel for RT-2 at Wendy's, we need to consider the current-carrying capacity, the number of conductors, and the type of cables being run. A conduit size of 1 1/4" is often selected for applications where multiple conductors and larger wire sizes are involved, as it allows enough room for proper installation and future maintenance.

Using a conduit that is too small could lead to overheating or damage to the conductors, while a conduit size that is excessively large may not be cost-effective or may make installation difficult due to the excess space. The choice of 1 1/4" reflects a common standard for electrical installations that masterfully balances these concerns. In conforming to the National Electrical Code (NEC) guidelines, this size is often recommended for commercial scenarios like running electrical systems in restaurants, where durability and safety are critical.

This sizing provides adequate space for the necessary conductors while ensuring compliance with electrical codes concerning fill capacity and conductor protection, making it a suitable selection for RT-2 at Wendy's.
