Parallel Conductors
(OP)
Are parallel conductors smaller than 1/0 awg in conduit allowed under the Canadian Electric Code?
When was the last time you drove down the highway without seeing a commercial truck hauling goods?

RE: Parallel Conductors
EG, Any number of 15 amp rated conductors (#14AWG) may be connected in parallel IF they are contained in one cable they are fed from a 15 amp breaker.
You may run a multi conductor cable in conduit to comply with this rule.
In the 2006 code this is rule #12-108(3).
Neutral conductors less than #1/0 AWG may be run in parallel under certain conditions, see rule 12-108(4)

RE: Parallel Conductors
So running 2 #1 awg per phase to supply a 125 HP motor would not be allow?
