John,

This is a real project that we are building on our shop floor. The heat tracing circuits are actully between 1.5kW and 2.2kW. All being protected by 30 amp circuit breakers.

Our equipment will be monitored at the installation site and is necessary for safe orperation of the equipment. This will be located outside in northern Canada.

I looked at the numbers and we are planning to run the three hot wires and the neutral as #2.

Thanks for your responses, do you agree with the fact the common neutral is the same size as each hot wire?
