Allowable Ampacities of Insulated Conductors Rated 0-2000 Volts As Excerpted from the 2002 National Electrical Code Ampacities of Not More Than Three Current-Carrying Conductors in Raceway, Cable or Earth.

Table 310.15(B)(16) (formerly Table 310.16) Allowable Ampacities of Insulated Conductors Rated Up to and Including 2000 Volts, 60°C Through 90°C (140°F Through 194°F), Not More Than Three Current-Carrying Conductors in Raceway, Cable, or

Ampacity based on NEC ® Table 310.15(B)(16) (formerly Table 310.16) Allowable Ampacities of Insulated Conductors Rated Up to and Including 2000 Volts, 60° through 90°C (140° through 194°F), Not More Than Three Current-Carrying Conductors in Raceway, Cable, or Earth (Directly Buried), Based on Ambient Temperature of 30°C (86°F).

Whenever we need to need how many amps a wire can handle, we turn to the NEC 310.16 table. The 310.16 table is basically an ampacity chart; it tells us what is the ampacity of copper and aluminum wires.

Allowable Ampacity Tables NFPA 70: NEC - 2023 Notes: 1. Section 310.15(B) shall be referenced for ampacity correction factors where the ambient temperature is other than 30°C (86°F) 2. Section 310.17 shall be referenced for conditions of use. *Section 240.4(D) shall be referenced for conductor overcurrent protection limitations, except as

Ampacity is the maximum current that a conductor can carry continuously under the conditions of use without exceeding its temperature rating. Cerrowire's ampacity chart helps calculate the load requirement for a circuit.

The wire size chart below shows allowable ampacities of insulated conductors rated up to and including 2000 Volts, 60°C through 90°C (140°F through 194°F), not more than three current-carrying conductors in raceway, cable, or earth (directly buried), based on ambient air temperature of 30°C (86°F).

Various tables and charts indicate conductor ampacity, temperature correction factors, and adjustment factors in NFPA 70®, National Electrical Code® (NEC®).

Unless the equipment is listed and marked otherwise, conductor ampacities used in determining equipment termination provisions shall be based on Table 310.15(B)(16) as appropriately modified by 310.15(B)(7).

Per NEC 310.15(B)(5), the ampacity of 4/C cables shall be reduced by a factor of 0.80 when the neutral is considered a current-carrying conductor. Table is reprinted from NFPA 70-2014, the National Electric Code, © 2013 National Fire Protection Association, Quincy, …
