Conduit runs

[Scotty]

Hi,

I need a bit of help, I understand the cable factors and how they relate to table 5D in OSG, not sure though what constitutes a "run", is that between terminations at an accessory/junction or the complete conduit installation. The install I had planned would have 5 bends from c/u to last socket (including 2 double bends due to steps in the wall) and would be approx 6M long, table 5D only goes up to 4 bends and only allows 2 bends for a 6M run.

I had intended to run 2.5 / 1.5 single core to the last socket and back to make the ring as there is a hardboarded false ceiling in the garage which would be a pain to remove.

Is this ok?

Thanks.
S.

through box between two double sets would make it easier

As far as i am aware a run is between access points. It means there will be less strain on cable when pulling it in and if tyhere is plenty access easy short runs.
