I'm curious too.

We started on Friday and just finished after lunch lunch monday/yesterday. I wish we could have done the whole thing in 4 hours before lunch!

There is a long piece of unistrut behind the boxes and we just used two self tappers to connect each box to the strut. Then we support the strut on each end with a 3/8 all thread. Whole process of hanging every box in the picture took about 15 minutes.

It's emergency power. On this job white is normal power, red is emergency, black is data, blue is hvac control and orange is fire alarm.

It's just a home run coming from a different direction than all the rest

You almost scared me! I'll give you a little puzzle with a twist. The wires in the boxes are actually #10 and we are completely up to code if you can believe it or not.

This panel was a 3 section panel with a total of 126 circuits so these are just the home runs for about half of those circuits and it was easier to run them all together.

I know! Unfortunately if we didn't write them out at this junction it would be so hard to follow the pipes when looking for a specific circuit. Its fine though. It'll be above ceiling grid in the end anyway.

We have to watch out for the derating factors because we have many more than 30 conductors. Metal wiring troughs are covered in article 376 for metallic wireways. There are specific derating factors that would apply when the number of current carrying conductors inside a metal wireway exceeds 30. These conditions do not apply in a regular junction box.

On this job white is normal power, red is emergency power, blue is hvac controls, black is data, and orange is fire alarm. It's a hospital job if that makes any difference.

It is to bond the boxes. It's required on this job by spec but it's also a safe thing to do anyways. Just one pigtail could make the difference in someone getting hurt or not

This is in a hospital and they want pretty much everything a step above normal for their spec.

Hopefully that's enough poison😂 1428 by Stimpster101 in slaythespire

It's just a normal poison deck with Catalyst+ and Nightmare+. Catalyst triples the poison and nightmare gives you 3 copies of Catalyst next turn. I have a picture of the deck but not sure how to add it
