These maximums use the stored XHHW / XHHW-2 conductor area and the implemented 40% multi-conductor fill limit. The full table compares every raceway size that fits at least one conductor.
Maximum counts are computed for every stored raceway and trade-size combination at 40% fill. Combinations below one conductor are omitted.

The existing conduit-fill calculator is preset to this conductor, wire size, and 3/4-inch EMT. Choose any raceway, trade size, or conductor count to check a run.
11 conductors fit at the 40% fill limit using the stored 0.0181 square-inch conductor area.
6 conductors fit at 40% fill. A value of 0 means one conductor of this size exceeds the 40% multi-conductor table capacity for that raceway size.
Each conductor uses the stored 0.0181 square-inch area. Applying that value across the available raceway areas produces 52 raceway-size rows that fit at least one conductor 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.
