I'm mostly a controls guy, know a little about general wiring, but not a whole lot. Usually I always run each motor's leads in a separate conduit. However, I have an application where the money savings would be tremendous if I could run all the leads in one conduit.
I have to install 4 exhaust ventilation fans on the roof peak of a two story, open bay type building. The motors are 7.5 H.P. 460V 3 phase, each motor will be connected to a MCC bucket, so each will have it's own breaker, starter, overloads, etc...
I browsed through the 2006 NEC, and couldn't find anything that prohibited it, but I may have missed it. If someone can point me to the correct article of the code, I would appreciate it.
