What happens here

The video concludes by displaying a segment of an NEC table titled 'Dimensions of Insulated Conductors and Fixture Wires.' This visual reinforces the type of detailed reference material discussed by the 'old school' electrician. It shows columns for 'Type' (e.g., THHN, THWN), 'Size (AWG or kcmil),' and 'Approximate Area,' which are crucial data points used in conjunction with other NEC tables to calculate conduit fill capacity for safe electrical installations.
