Smallest Service Conductor Size - 03/24/04 03:29 PM
Hi All!
I'm confused over the following;
In rule 6-302(4), it gives that the Service Conductor (Copper) should not be smaller than 10AWG.
In rule 8-200 (1)(b)(ii), it states that the minimum service supply current, should be 60A.
By going through the Table 2 (& even Table 1), it is clear that the ampacity of 10AWG will be 30A (or if it is in free air it is 40A)
Are these 2 rules contradict each other?
