What can be a consequence of having too large a conduit?

Selecting an oversized conduit can lead to higher upfront material costs due to the increased amount of material needed to manufacture the larger conduit. When contractors or electricians choose a conduit that is significantly larger than required, they need to invest more money upfront to purchase this additional material. This choice might also result in increased installation and transportation costs.

In a practical sense, using a conduit that is too large can sometimes make installation more cumbersome, as there may be less physical support for the wires, leading to additional considerations during setup. Moreover, larger conduits might require different fittings or additional supports, further escalating costs.

While other options point to challenges associated with oversized conduits, they don't directly address the financial implications as clearly as the increased material costs, emphasizing the efficiency and economic considerations important in electrical installations.
