What should be done if electrical conduit is exposed to varying environmental temperatures?

It should be minimized
It must be insulated
It should be filled with approved material
It needs regular maintenance

The correct answer is: It should be filled with approved material

When electrical conduit is exposed to varying environmental temperatures, filling it with an approved material is essential to maintain the integrity and performance of the electrical installation. Fluctuations in temperature can cause expansion and contraction of the conduit, which could lead to potential issues such as condensation inside the conduit or damage to the cables contained within. By filling the conduit with an approved material, such as a thermal insulation that can accommodate these changes, one can protect the internal wiring from temperature extremes, moisture, and possible corrosion. This is particularly important for systems that could be in environments with high temperature differentials or where condensation might occur. Insulation serves not only to prevent condensation but also to help in maintaining the temperature within the conduit, contributing to the overall reliability and efficiency of the electrical system, ensuring the safety and longevity of the installation.
