Electrical Wiring
We have had numerous projects with different methods of electrical wiring. Our goal is to provide alternatives based on experience. You should choose the method that works best for you.
1 conduit used on a vertical basis for the electrical wiring
2 Putting in an electrical box
3 A sample electrcal fuse box installed inside the garage
4 Normally, the sheetrock is nailed directly to the VOBB concrete
block. In this case, it was decided to add some electrical outlets.
As such, stripping was added to allow for the electrical wires
to run on the outside of the VOBB blocks. A very thin electrical
block was used which fit in the space of the air gap and the sheetrock
thickness.
5 This is a thin electrical box nailed to the VOBB block
6 Electrical outlets for the kitchen area.
7 Electrical conduit on a vertical basis
8 Electrical wire for a closet light
9 Using flexible conduit
We are very excited about using Metal Cable All Purpose ("MCAP") instead of using conduit in the VOBB block. We think that there are applications where this material would be much more cost effective.

As per the local Chief Electrical Inspector "The Code requirements for metal clad cable are found in article 330 of the National Electrical Code."
Due
to numerous different soil conditions, building codes, etc., VOBB makes no guarantees and/or warranties (expressed or implied). Please contact a qualified engineer, architect or building inspector as needed. |
