Keeping up with the requirements of the Code should be the goal of
everyone involved in electrical safety. The following is what I feel is an
important rule in the 2020 NEC®, complete with
graphics and a video. I encourage you to use it as a training resource for
your organization, and share it with your colleagues.
Raceways Exposed to Different Temperatures [300.7] |

Do you know where raceways are required to be sealed in accordance with the National Electrical Code?
Condensation could accumulate in raceways that are subjected to temperature differences as a result of air circulating through the raceway from a warmer to a colder section. The circulation of air within the raceway can be prevented by sealing the raceway with a suitable compound before it enters the colder section.
Learn how the transference of moisture inside raceways can be prevented by reading the attached text and watching the video where Mike and the team discuss NEC 300.7
