[300.3(B)]. Use bigger raceway. You never "need" 
to do this. In fact, it's prohibited. There is an exception in [300.3(B)(1)], 
for a very special case.
[300.3(C)(1)]. Yes, but there's a catch: all of 
the conductors must have an insulation rating at least that of the 
maximum circuit voltage applied to any conductor in a given raceway, 
enclosure, or cable. What this means generally is you should follow 
the good  engineering practice of putting runs of power, 
signal, and control wiring in separate raceways and bundles wherever 
possible. That way, you'll never violate this requirement.
[300.4]. You'll find the requirements for wood in 
subsection A, for metal in subsection B.
[300.4(G)]. Protect the conductors with an 
identified fitting that provides a smoothly rounded insulating 
surface. You can skip this fitting, if you instead use insulating 
material that is firmly fastened in place.
[300.4(H)]. A listed expansion fitting or other 
approved means. This subsection is new, with the 2011 NEC. |
