Table 310.16 - Terminations - 01/24/06 03:12 AM
I was told that there are no wire terminations rated more than 75C degrees, and that this limits you to the temperature of the wire being used. Example - If I choose 2 aught THHN-2 from the table 310.16 the maximum ampacity would be 195 amps at 90C degrees, but because my termination was 75C degrees you would have to drop back to the 75C THHN conductor, which is rated at 175 amps. Is this correct?
