Current carrying conductor
Current carrying conductor
(OP)
I am fairly new to NEC and I am trying to find their definition of a 'current carrying conductor', specifically, is the control wiring (say coil on starter/contactor) considered to be a current carrying conductor (for conduit fill)? Some claim it is not, but I believe it is.
I searched in an old version of NEC (93) and can't find anything, including on the net.

Control wiring is used to connect switches and contacts, and contactor & relay coil loads are usually the largest(or only) real currents involved. A single contactor coil carrying 10A? This would be very uncommon.
