+Allowable Ampacities:
Allowable ampacities shown are for general use as specified by the National Electrical Code, 2008 Edition, section 310.15.
For NEC Applications, use NEC Table 310.16 Ampacities.
60°C - When terminated to equipment for circuits rated 100 amperes or less or marked for 14 through 1 AWG conductors.
75°C - When terminated to equipment for circuits rated over 100 amperes or marked conductors larger than 1 AWG.
90° C - RHH dry locations. RHW-2 and USE-2 wet or dry locations. For ampacity derating purposes.
*For compact-stranded construction, the number of wires, as permitted by UL Standard 44 and ASTM B-801, may be reduced as follows:
19-Wire Constructions - 18 Wires Minimum
37-Wire Constructions - 35 Wires Minimum
61-Wire Constructions - 58 Wires Minimum
RECOMMENDED SAMPLE SPECIFICATIONS:
Conductors shall be UL-listed Type RHH or RHW-2 or USE-2, suitable for operation at 600 volts or less in wet or dry locations, including direct burial in the earth.
Conductors shall be AlumaFlex TM aluminum alloy, XLP insulated, as manufactured by Southwire Company or approved equal.
