Wire exceeds Panduit capacity


Naturally, as we are redoing the panels we are also wiring the new air conditioners, instruments and replacing the old wiring to electrical outlets. All of these new wires have to go through the boat to the panels. Mark bought a butt-load of Panduit (similar to ‘conduit’ but flat vs. round) and most of it has been put to good use in the engine room. But, in some cases it looks like the wiring has exceeded expectations and our Panduit runnith over.

The number of cables you have does exceed the recommendations by Panduit for fill capacity.

I would suggest looking a a larger Type H (hinged duct) style in the future. This product has thinker and stiffer sides and a cover that hinges.
