Hi,

Thanks in advance...

I'm installing a exterior 30a power outlet for a generator... this will tie into a transfer switch... my garage is finished and I need to run the 10/3 romex about 45 feet... can I put this in 3/4 conduit?. I need to use 3 90 degree bends and two more to get the 10/3 out of the outlet and into the transfer switch.. if I use 2 more 90's then I'm over the 360 degree limit... is that accurate??

Thanks
Tim

You can put romex in conduit, it's additional protection. And you are right about the 460 degree issue. Consider using flex to a junction box or watertight if it can work for you.

Don't forget to add the box offsets you need into your total when figuring how many degrees of bend you actually need. A box offset is the small offset that brings the conduit off the wall and lines it up with the hole in the box. These are small bends but are included in the 360 degree limit.
