    I know the first thing my local inspector(s) will question & more than likely make us relocate is that abundance of NM Cable crowded on what looks to be like an entrance to a chase or raceway. I can hear it now… “do you how much heat that will create when those homeruns start getting real loads on them, then there is no way for those conductors to dissipate heat.” Looks clean but I learned the hard way, gotta make it clean while following you’re current NEC that you’re local city / town follows when permits were initially pulled. Don’t know what state thats in but most of Northeast doesn’t allow non insulated cable staples unless its old work that you can prove its old then it’s grandfathered in. Keep up the good work.

      @@thomasdragosr.841 Where to start, I've never seen loose cables or wires trough a wall in my life (no matter how old the building), everything that's not feeded by a plug is in conduit. Going sideways trough a wall, what's that about? We always go straight up to the ceiling from every switch or outlet so you know where the wires are. Drilling in this kind of wall looks like Russian roulette. Wire nuts, haven't seen those used since the seventies. And outside, what's with this wiring and transformers dangling on wooden poles? I'm almost 60 and I can't remember power lines not being under ground (unless it's very high voltage long distance). Bonding ground and neutral, it probably has to do with the split fase system, but that's very weird to me. In this video I see some sort of staples holding the cables? That would be a really big no no for us. I could go on for a while. Not saying it's bad, but it all looks so different to me, very fascinating.

      These NM-B cables are actually rated up to 90C, but the you are required to treat the maximum ampacity as the 60C value. So if you are derating, you can derate from the 90C value and the installed ampacity will be the lesser of the 60C value or the derated 90C value.

    Through a hole is not the problem. Its a extended tube run where heat is the problem. A short tube open at both ends also has "air flow" and acts different. I am sure someone can site the codes on this stuff.
    Many vatiances for different situations.
    In my experience.. if you have to force a wire into a conduit.. its to small.
    I always oversize the conduit. Just makes it easy. And costs not much more.

      A lot of people run 14 for the circuits solely dedicated to lighting. Lighting alone doesn't need more than 14, which is smaller thus having less copper than 12 therefore being cheaper, n really making a difference when you run a company and purchase several hundred roles a year

      Running hundreds of feet of conduit is expensive; would probably double the cost of the job through increased material costs and the additional labor of routing it. Not to mention that US-based architects and engineers will not be designing with having to accommodate conduit in mind, so you may run into conflicts with framing and other mechanicals.
      Except in very specific circumstances (mostly Chicago), residential interiors do not use conduit and builders and homeowners would almost never accept a bid that uses it because it would be WAY above what they expect to pay.
