There's also some notes in Chapter 9, dealing with how to figure for cables when calculating conduit fill. Type NMC cable installed in shallow chases or grooves in masonry, concrete, or adobe shall be protected in accordance with the requirements in 300.4(F) and covered with plaster, adobe, or similar finish. Where passing through a floor, the cable shall be enclosed in rigid metal conduit, intermediate metal conduit, electrical metallic tubing, Schedule 80 PVC conduit, Type RTRC marked with the suffix -XW, or other approved means extending at least 150 mm (6 in.) above the floor. Cable shall be protected from physical damage where necessary by rigid metal conduit, intermediate metal conduit, electrical metallic tubing, Schedule 80 PVC conduit, Type RTRC marked with the suffix -XW, or other approved means.
In exposed work, except as provided in 300.11(A), cable shall be installed as specified in 334.15(A) through (C). National Electrical Code 2011 ARTICLE 334 Nonmetallic-Sheathed Cable: Types NM, NMC, and NMS II.
NEC calls for it to be in conduit, when protection from physical damage is required.
