ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Electrical conduit

Okay kiddo, so you know how sometimes we need to hide things that we don't want people to see, like toys under the bed or clothes in the closet? Well, electrical wires are kind of like that too - they need a special hiding spot so they can do their job without getting in the way.

That's where electrical conduit comes in. It's like a long tube made of metal or plastic that the wires can go inside of. This keeps the wires organized and safe, so they don't get damaged or cause any accidents.

Think of it like a big straw but instead of drinking milkshake, we put the electrical wires inside so that they are protected and can stay safe while doing their job.

The electrical conduit also helps keep everything organized and makes it easier for people to work on the wires if they need to. It's kind of like a secret tunnel that keeps all the wires protected and in the right place.

So, electrical conduit is really important for making sure that all of our electrical things work properly and safely. It's like a secret hiding spot for our important wires!
