Regarding the amps ( yes they do eat 1200 watts each at idle )
Most 10 gauge is for 40 and 50 amp circuits for stoves and dryers Really? 10 ga. for 40 or 50 amps? Not where I come from. Regarding romex in conduit, the only place, as I recall, that the NEC or local codes require conduit (actually EMT) is where duplex or switch box runs are surface mounted and not run within a wall, most likely on a basement masonry or concrete wall.
I'll take YOUR word for it es347. It's what you did for a living after all.
You can not put romex or other multi-corded conductors in conduit. It changes the thermal properties of the wire and thus, it's amperage (with regards to temperature).Wayner
There are no 40 or 50 amp services in a home for 120 volt. Those amperages are 240 volt, which requires multiple conductors. Many cites require all wiring to be installed in conduit commercial as well as residential. That varies from town to town.. Romex use is not universal and is not "mandatory" in the NEC.You can not put romex or other multi-corded conductors in conduit.
