CONDUIT
FILL

Fill, voltage drop, and ampacity — straight NEC Chapter 9 and Table 310.16 math, on the edition your jurisdiction actually enforces. 2017, 2020, or 2023: the citations switch with you, down to the renumbered tables.

HOW IT COMPUTES

The same tables your inspector opens

Fill works exactly the way a plan checker does it: conductor areas from Chapter 9 Table 5 (Table 8 for bare), the fill limit from Table 1, raceway areas from Table 4 for your conduit type — EMT, IMC, RMC, PVC, ENT, or flex. The result is the smallest trade size that passes, with the fill percentage and every conductor's area itemized.

Voltage drop uses the Chapter 9 Table 9 impedance basis for copper and aluminum, single- or three-phase, and tells you both the drop at your length and the maximum run that stays inside the 3% recommendation — which the calculator honestly labels as an Informational Note recommendation, because that's what it is. Ampacity starts from Table 310.16, applies the ambient-temperature correction and the more-than-three current-carrying-conductor adjustment, and caps the answer at your termination temperature per 110.14(C) — the step people forget.

Built from a shipped solver

The fill engine is the same logic that routes real conduit in our paid Revit Conduit Router — ported to the web and parity-checked against NEC Informative Annex C. If you find daylight between this calculator and the code book, use FEEDBACK and we'll chase it down.
