Wire make-up for feeders is usually 7 feet for switchboards and 5 feet for panel boards (for both ends, it equals 12 ft.). You must consider how much make-up length is needed at both ends. You must include enough wire to reach the breaker, lug, or make up point, where the wires are to be made up. Say that the conduit lands on top of a 7' 6' switch board. It is necessary to add enough wire coming out of the end of the conduit to reach the termination point. Add the correct conduit riser length (plus wires) to your take-off sheet.ДЄdd for wire make-up length - Wire make-up length is the distance that wire sticks out of the conduit so it can reach the termination point. Remember to calculate conduit riser lengths at each end of every conduit. To figure out what conduit riser length out of the top of a panel figure the distance between the top of the panel and the roof or deck above it (deduct the distance that the hangers hang down). Underground risers going into the bottom of a panelboard are usually around 5 feet (for 1st floor applications). When you are estimating and rolling off or measuring conduit, it is essential to include the risers in your take-off. Take-off conduit risers - A conduit riser is the conduit that runs vertically out of the top or bottom of a panel. Take-off any interior trenching and backfilling. By measuring at right angles, you will allow enough conduit and wire to go around obstacles or obstructions in the building that you do not know about when you are doing the take-off. (All 90 deg turns) Do not measure on diagonals.

Red Rhino Electrical and Structured Cabling Estimating Software has many training videos online so you can learn at your own paceД¬lick here to watch Video how to take off Feeder conduit and WireДЄlways measure conduit at right angles - Take off all conduits at right angles to the plan. On your take-off sheet, under each feeder heading, count and show core drills, fire seals, water seals, concrete cutting or patching, if needed. Make notes on the take-off sheet (margins or other blank space) of the type of conduit fittings and wire make up lengths. List the feeder conduit type (GRC, EMT, PVC, etc.) And, list the conduit size, number of wires and size of wires, number of runs, supports, ells, condulets, adapters, special fittings etc. Make sure to highlight each feeder when you measure it and write the length on your take-off sheet. Take off feeders in order (one after the other) from the single line diagram in a logical sequence. Feeder wires are generally size # 4 and larger.
