Result & worksheet

15.83% fill — within entered limit

Recorded summary

  • Conductors: 4
  • Occupied area: 0.0844 in²
  • Raceway area: 0.533 in²
  • Entered limit: 40%
  • Margin: 0.1288 in²

Formula used

Fill % = (quantity × conductor area ÷ raceway internal area) × 100

Calculation steps

  1. 4 × 0.0211 in² = 0.0844 in² occupied
  2. (0.0844 ÷ 0.533) × 100 = 15.83%
  3. Entered allowable area: 0.2132 in²

Assumptions

  • All entered conductors use the same table area
  • Raceway and conductor areas use the same square units
  • The user-entered allowable percentage matches the conductor count and adopted edition

Verify before use

  • NEC Chapter 9, Table 1 for allowable percentage
  • Applicable Chapter 9 Table 4 raceway dimensions
  • Applicable Chapter 9 Table 5 or 5A conductor dimensions
  • Notes, nipples, multiconductor cables, and local amendments
  • Ampacity adjustment is a separate check
