A new requirement in NEC 2026, Section 314.28(A)(3), addresses the maximum number of conductors permitted in a pull or junction box for circuits operating at over 1000 volts. What is the newly specified minimum free space required for conductors entering or exiting such a box?
For conductors 4 AWG and larger, the minimum free space is 6 times the trade size of the largest raceway entering the box.
For conductors 4 AWG and larger, the minimum free space is 8 times the trade size of the largest raceway entering the box.
For conductors 4 AWG and larger, the minimum free space is 4 times the trade size of the largest raceway entering the box.
For conductors 4 AWG and larger, the minimum free space is 12 times the trade size of the largest raceway entering the box.
