Question:
I check the CQD every day. Thanks for the responses. Can I pull a 2 AWG solid copper conductor in a 1-inch EMT? It seems hard to pull through multiple 90-degree elbows in the run. Wondering if the Code has a restriction.

Answer:
Hi Frank,
Thanks for your comments and question. This is fairly straightforward. The NEC generally limits solid conductors to sizes smaller than 8 AWG unless permitted in another provision of the NEC. Section 310.3(C) in the 2020 NEC and Section 310.106(C) in the 2017 NEC.
