    As a Canadian Electrician, i love the cleanliness of the install and how easy I would be to repair these installs however I can say that the main reason we avoid this method of installation is that each plug and light having its own dedicated path to the circuit breaker panel is extremely expensive.
    The smallest breakers we can use in a residential installation is 15Amps as required by the NEC / CEC as such the wires we pull minimum size must be 14 AWG.
    However this allows us to create MWBC (Multi-Wire branch circuits) or Edison Circuits which massively saves on the required amount of copper.
    Also our building standards are much different, Our high-rise buildings tend to only have concrete walls between units, all interior walls are either wood frame or steel frame which allows us to run wire behind drywall (before its installed) and the ceilings would have a small gap above them for wires and plumbing to be ran before drywall would also be installed.
    Both methods have their reasons for existing and both have their drawbacks.
    All that conduit looks like it takes some time to install + the time to pull each individual circuit where in north America I can wire a small 6 office floor in a few days. but it can be a pain to add or renovate, especially if the client wants to avoid damaging the drywall for new installations.

      @@steveurbach3093 It may be allowed (I'm not sure on that) but you wouldn't really want to because with the exception of maybe an isolated circuit that only hanndles LED lighting, it's gonna blow the minute anyone puts any real amps through it. The reason most small appliances in the US cap out at 1800 watts is because that will pull about 12.5 Amps at 120 volts. You try putting a standard 1800 watt microwave on a 10 amp circuit and you're blowing it every time.

    In the UK we use metal containment like basket or tray. The cables are then secured using metal braces if above head.
    The reason:
    A few years back, there was a fire on a construction site. The fireman entered into the building to tackle the fire. It got so Hot that the plastic cable ties (tie wraps) and plastic conduit melted, and the cables fell on to the fireman. He then got tangled up in the copper wires and eventually died from the fire.

    It’s closer to IEC standards, especially the circuit breaker box. Conduit is commonly used in many countries, for example Australia. Less common in Europe due to the additional cost. As long as the wire gauges and circuit breakers are of the correct size, I do not see how the installation in the video would violate the NEC or any IEC based electrical code.
    There are various details that may be required in some countries such as the sizing of junction boxes or exclusive use of UL listed components, but in general this electrician is delivering a system that is commendable and looks safe as well as easy to maintain.

    When comparing NEC against a 220/240 Volt system out of the NEC code area it is important to keep in mind the voltage difference. A 120 Volt (NEC) installation will require the dobbed amount of copper to be comparable to a 220/240 Volt system that deliver the same wattage to the end-user, that fact alone makes a NEC installation much more expensive as the 220/240 Volt.

    US isnt world's centre. Every country has its own standards for all kinds of things, electrical wiring included. US has a grid-to-resident supply of 110v. Some countries have 220v. Also, I see that power sockets in US households don't have a dedicated switch beside them. I personally find that to be dangerous, especially because whenever you plug in something that draws a lot of electricity (like a toaster, heat gun, refrigerator etc...), it sparks when you plug them in. I get that you have breakers as a safety measure but as someone who grew up in a country where we have dedicated switches next to each power outlet, I find this to be much safer and reassuring.

The standards set forth where he is are just as comprehensive, and just as rigorously enforced - if not more so.

    as far as running conduit, no this is not substantially different from the US. The materials and exact specifications might differ slightly, but as far as running wire in conduit, its basically the same any US installation which uses conduit.
    The only real point of difference is the breaker box, which i have to say, American breaker boxes are much better than that style of box, far easier and less labor intensive to install, since American breaker panels use bussbars to supply all the breakers, this makes it more flexible and safer.

PVC-U burns when exposed to an open flame, but extinguishes immediately after removing the flame. The oxygen index amounts to 42 %.
