    Cord is only allowed to be in raceway in very specific locations or reasons, such as from the 2008 Edition of the NEC:

    501.140 Flexible Cords, Class I, Divisions 1 and 2.
    (A) Permitted Uses.
    (B) Installation.     Where flexible cords are used, the cords shall comply with all of the following:

    (3) For electric submersible pumps with means for removal without entering the wet-pit. The extension of the flexible cord within a suitable raceway between the wet-pit and the power source shall be permitted.

    So, need to know exactly what your application is.
