Cable Fill Ratio Spreadsheet

Instructions:
1) Fill in the type of conductors and ground wires (highlighted areas)
2) Fill in the OD (Outside Diameter) and quantity of each (highlighted areas)
3) Choose the intended pipe and find the Inside Area
4) The inside Area HDPE Conduit and fill ratio percentage is calculated
5) Compare vs. NEC Standards listed below

NEC (National Electric Code-2008) Chapter 9, Table 1: Percent of Cross Section of

Conduit and Tubing for Conductors

Note: CIC (Cable in Conduit) can be UL 1990 certified. Conduit used in the manufacture of UL CIC (specification UL
1990) is manufactured in accordance with UL 651B. UL size/types available are: EPEC-40 (Schedule 40), EPEC-80
(Schedule 80) and EPEC-B (SDR 13.5-1” through 6”). SDR 11 pipe is not in the UL specifications and therefore only
available under ASTM F 2160, Solid Wall HDPE Conduit Based on Controlled Outside Diameter.
