electrician2.com Compact Conductor Racewayfill Calculator
by electrician2.com

This program calculates the number of same size conductors using the .8 roundoff method.
In the Auto Mode this program limits the fill to 40 per cent for over 2 conductors,
31 per cent for only two conductors, and 53 percent for one conductor.
Values are taken from NEC Chapter 9, Table 5A for compact conductors. THHN No. 8 AWG sizes are not included.
