What is the total volume occupied by two internal cable clamps, six 12 AWG conductors, and a single-pole switch?

To determine the total volume occupied by the internal cable clamps, conductors, and the switch, it's important to know the specific volume allowances stated in the National Electrical Code (NEC).

Each 12 AWG conductor typically occupies 2.25 cubic inches. For six 12 AWG conductors, this results in a total volume of 6 x 2.25 = 13.5 cubic inches.

Regarding the cable clamps, the NEC allows for 1.0 cubic inch of volume per internal clamp. Therefore, for two clamps, this would be 2 x 1.0 = 2.0 cubic inches.

Finally, a single-pole switch generally occupies an additional volume of 2.0 cubic inches.

Putting these volumes together gives:

• Volume for conductors: 13.5 cu in

• Volume for clamps: 2.0 cu in

• Volume for switch: 2.0 cu in

Adding all these together results in: 13.5 + 2.0 + 2.0 = 17.5 cubic inches.
