In sizing a 200 amp 120/240V power cord and using NEC table 400.5 under the 75 degree E2 column it shows that 1/0 type "W" cable is sufficient for 207 amps. Since compliance with 110.14 (C) is based on Table 310.16 does that mean
the ampacities listed in 310.16 override the ampacities listed in table 440.5?
