Classes A, B, C, D, G, and M. 1  Classes A â C permit operation of motor vehicles based on GVW rating and must be renewed every 5 years. 2  Classes D and G are valid for operation of a single motor vehicle with a GVW rating of 26,000 lbs. or less.
Electrical Metallic Tubing (EMT) Electrical metallic tubing (EMT), also commonly called thin-wall, is a listed steel raceway of circular cross section, which is unthreaded, and nominally 10â² long. 20â² lengths are also available. Covered by Article 358 of the NEC, EMT is available in trade sizes 1/2 through 4.
The Basics of Steel Conduit. Steel conduit has been in use as a raceway system for electrical conductors since the early 1900s. The wall thickness and strength of steel make metal conduit the wiring method recognized as providing the most mechanical protection to the enclosed conductors. An additional benefit of using steel conduit is that the NEC recognizes a properly installed metal conduit system as an equipment grounding conductor. Three basic types of steel conduit are in use today: rigid metal conduit, intermediate metal conduit, and electrical metallic tubing.
