A conduit size with a diameter of . 75 inches or a 3/4 inch Conduit can accommodate up to 6 Cat6 plenum-rated cables. This may vary from one manufacturer to another but as a thumb rule, the average is 6 Data cables with a 40% fill ratio capacity for the EMT Conduit.

The simple answer to your question is yes according to NEC Article 334.15 (B), but it may be a little more complicated than that. First the conductors must be rated for wet location. The idea is that moisture can condense in the conduit.

For 200 ampere or less services, the minimum rigid metal conduit size is 2 inch.

The NEC specifications are: One wire: maximum fill is 53% of the space inside a conduit. Two wires: maximum fill is 31% Three wires or more: maximum fill is 40% of the conduit's total available space.

A #2 AWG wire is needed for a 100 amp service. This wire is used when the run between the breaker panel and the electrical load (such as an air conditioner) is long, like in large commercial buildings. A #4 AWG wire will be needed if the distance between the breaker panel and the electrical load is less than 50 feet.

You cannot use two wire of smaller gauge to double the size of the breaker. In the example of two 10 gauge wires on a 60 amp breaker, as combined two 10 gauge wires are still only capable of carrying 30 amps before they could catch on fire.

What Size Conduit You Need for 100 Amp Service. A 100 amp service will need a minimum of 1.25 inches, schedule 40 or 80 PVC grey electric conduit.

The answer is generally yes. The National Electrical Code (NEC) calls for all non-metallic wires to be used in conduits to avoid protection from physical damage; especially if stripped.
