Conduit routing advice needed

[formernuke]

Ok the compressor is in. The room it is in was a addition to the house so I can get straight into the basement from the bottom trim.

I plan to run conduit from there up a few feet, over and then down the wall to a plug.

What is catching me is first which conduit to use and second this one corner.

Always interesting to see how it is done in other countries.

The pictures you posted probably make perfect sense to you. But to me they don't mean anything to us.
I get it you are dealing with an addition. And there are dozens of ways additions can be added to a house. Looks like you are looking at one route. I bet you are overlooking other routes that this could be wired. Conduit in the living space is pretty low on the ways I would do it.

Pretty much have to see it in person to figure the three dimensional aspect of your problem.

Why are you running surface conduit in a living space? It's UGLY

I would open up that wall and hide either 1" conduit or the applicable romex. I assume you are running 4x #10

Romex is a north american thing. Looking at the outlets, this isn't in NA.

First post has New England stated as location, that is North America.
Second post has Australia stated as location.

So if you go to the OP, it is North America.

I didn't look at the poster's info, just the images. Smurf pipe coupled with those outlets is how the world does electricity. NA is it's own beast.

The OP's post has the purple walls and appears to be a conventional stick built wall with sheetrock. Nobody runs conduit on the outside of interior floor moulding in New England (NY, CT, VT, MA, RI, ME presumably). They should just open up the wall and put the conduit or romex out of sight.

The OP didnt say the wire size or the distance - both of which are pretty critical to keep from burning up the compressor motor.
