Why Not Use Wire in Pipe Instead of VFD Cable?
** Named Best Podcast 2 Consecutive Years! 2022 & 2023 Apex Awards of Publication Excellence.
A VFD cable is a three-phase cable with integrated grounds and a shield. But why can't you just use individual conductors like THHN or THWN and place them in conduit instead of using a VFD cable? Executive Editor Theresa Houck chats with Steve Wetzel, Senior Product Engineer at Southwire Co., about what kind of wire people use in wire-in-pipe installations, the drawbacks to using wire in pipe, the serious issues this causes, and why VFD cable is a better option.
And as always, get your family-friendly, silly Joke of the Day.
