A. The letters GTO stand for "Gas Tube and Oil". Section 600-32 (e) of the NEC allows no spacing between type GTO cable and conduit. Sections 600-31 (b) and 600-32 (b) require the secondary conductors of neon systems to be listed, suitable for the purpose and not smaller than #18 gauge. Conductors on neon systems over 1,000 volts must have a minimum temperature rating of 105 degrees Celsius.
