all your videos so rich in information yet so easy to follow and understand .your videos should be tough to all journeymen and apprentices because it shows real life situations
Cheers, thanks for the comment. Education is a challenging task in every sector-the electrical trades included. Perhaps, in time, educators will reach beyond the basics of their texts and creatively connect concepts to the field.
Hi dragon818, in reference to box fill, any receptacle is considered to be mijnted one single strap. This would include single receptacles, duplex, and other quirky combos such as a switch with light or switch with receptacle. Let me know if I understood your question correctly.
Great question, typically no. The volume of wire contained in a box by these conductors is so small that it is not considered significant enough to count. This is evident with table 22 & 23 having volume data down to #14awg, no smaller.

How many strap should be count for a 14-30R receptacle? Thank you.

@ Hi there, the 14-30R usually uses for a dryer, it is larger than a single strap. Does that count 2 straps?
Another question. Do you count the 16awg wire for 0-10v dimmer?
Great question, typically no. The volume of wire contained in a box by these conductors is so small that it is not considered significant enough to count. This is evident with table 22 & 23 having volume data down to #14awg, no smaller.
When you gang 2x 3104, do you multiply the capacity by 2 or you have to subtract the volume of the 2 side that you remove?
Good question. Volume of the two boxes added together, typically twice the volume for a gangable box.. no need to subtract sides.
