Which term denotes the conduit type recommended for electrical runs?

• A. Hoistway Dimensions
• B. Electrical Conduit
• C. Support Arms
• D. Jumper Plugs

Answer: (B)

The main idea here is choosing the protective path for electrical wiring. For electrical runs, the conduit type refers to the protective tube or raceway that encloses and guards the conductors, keeping them safe from physical damage, moisture, and other hazards while also helping organize and route the wiring in the installation.

Electrical conduit is the best term because it specifically denotes that protective pathway used for wires in escalator and moving-walk systems. It’s the standard housing for electrical conductors in these machines, meeting safety and code requirements and providing a defined, installable route along hoistways and equipment spaces. The other options describe things unrelated to housing the wiring: hoistway dimensions relate to shaft size, support arms are structural components, and jumper plugs are connectors used to bridge circuits—none of which serve as the protective channel for electrical runs.
