At the implemented 40% fill limit, 1-1/4-inch EMT accepts the maximum THHN counts shown below. Use the full table for other insulation types and wire sizes.
Every row is computed from the stored 1-1/4-inch EMT raceway area and conductor area at 40% fill. Rows with a maximum below one are omitted.

The existing conduit-fill calculator is preset to this raceway and trade size. Change conductor type, wire size, or count to check a specific run.
44 conductors fit at the 40% fill limit using the stored 1-1/4-inch EMT area and 12 AWG THHN conductor area.
28 conductors fit at 40% fill. The table gives the corresponding maximum for every other stored conductor type and size that fits.
The stored raceway area is 1.496 square inches. Applying the site’s conduit-fill function produces 60 conductor rows with a maximum of at least one at 40%.
Nine electrical calculators that follow the NEC. Ohm's law, power/kVA, wire sizing, voltage drop, conduit fill (mixed conductors), motor FLA + OCPD, box fill, service load, reference. Free on the App Store and Google Play.
