References are based on the 2017 edition. - Understand the physical properties of conduits and the benefits for different applications and that there are often multiple appropriate types of conduit available that can be based on client needs and cost. - Better understand the benefits and limitations of various types of pathways including busway cable tray, wireway, surface raceways, power cable assemblies and open wiring.  The article follows requirements defined in NFPA 70: National Electrical Code in terms of selecting the right conduit, surface raceways, busways, cable trays, power cable assemblies, wireways and open wiring for the right applications.  To read the full article by Terry Cleis, go to: [https://www.csemag.com/articles/selecting-the-proper-wiring-solutions/](https://www.csemag.com/articles/selecting-the-proper-wiring-solutions/) To contact Terry directly, email him at: [tcleis@pbanet.com](mailto:tcleis@pbanet.com).  ****More about Peter Basso Associates**** Peter Basso Associates (PBA) excels at highly technical, challenging projects, and our in-depth knowledge of best practices extends across multiple markets.
