In compliance with safety standards, what must be considered when installing conduit?

When installing conduit, safe electrical installation practices are critical to ensure the protection of both the system and the individuals interacting with it. These practices include understanding the appropriate methods and techniques for securing and supporting the conduit, ensuring proper grounding, and selecting materials suited for the specific environment.

Adhering to safe electrical installation practices means considering factors like the type of conduit to use, securing it adequately to prevent damage or movement, and ensuring that there is sufficient space for heat dissipation. This approach helps prevent electrical hazards such as short circuits, electrical fires, or shock, thereby maintaining compliance with safety standards.

While other factors like the General Code requirements and environmental conditions are important, focusing on safe practices encompasses a broader range of considerations necessary for ensuring a safe and efficient conduit installation.
