Conduit for PV Wire

[Mike 134]

Keep in mind PV wire is nothing more than plain old RHH wire. But like others said once you're in conduit THWN will work just fine.

It’s not a 70%loss. It’s a rating reduction to 70% of the max capacity for the conductor. If it’s basic rating is 10a then under the detecting situation rules the max you should expect it to be able to carry safely is 7a. It’s not about voltage drop either, that’s an efficiency/thru-put type of deal that has to do with how efficiently the length of wire is when trying to deliver what is sent based on its internal resistance based on size length and voltage.

Seems to be working so I’m just leaving it be..

There’s probably still going to be some parts of code that directly call for it? Is RHH always going to have the voltage and environmental specs of stuff marked PV?
