Quick question:
I need to drop three circuits down a concrete basement wall to two adjacent 4 x 4 receptacle boxes I'll be mounting on the wall. I want to protect the wires along the wall within one run of 3/4" EMT. Can I just bring the NM-B cables into a junction box mounted near the ceiling and strip off 4-5 feet of sheathing from these cables and drop the individual wires through the conduit to the boxes?
Fill restrictions prevent me from running the whole NM cables within the conduit. Basically, I want to know if I can avoid having to splice in actual THHN/THWN wire at the junction box for the drop through the conduit (the wires within the Romex cable are not marked as to their specifications). I'll use a separate insulated green ground wire through the conduit, so I can splice all the grounds together in the junction box and just run one ground wire to the boxes.
Thanks for your help.
