Hi,
shortcircuit...

i guess your using the 90 degree wire column?

I SAID: "If I have a conduit running through a boiler at a power plant and it is ALWAYS 150 degrees in there do I have to worry about derating? NO! not if I LIMIT the number of conductors because as you mention the insualtion is designed to withstand certain temps.. it is ONLY when someone tries to put more than 3 current carrying conductors in a raceway that I am even worried about it."

i dont have to do that becasue I do not have MORE than 3 current carrying conductors. And because its in a power plant the NEC doesnt apply... I will use that if you prove me wrong!

-regards

Greg
