If you ask a seasoned electrician how many No. 12 AWG conductors will fit into a 3/4" EMT conduit system, you may get a response such as “one more!” While this is amusing (and typically true), there are precautions that must be taken according to the NEC whenever conductors are bundled together in a raceway, cable, or even in a ditch in the earth.
