Notes:  
• Dimensions and weights shown are nominal values, subject to standard industry tolerances. 
• Ampacities are in accordance with NEC Table 310.15(B)(16) for 
conductors in a raceway at 30°C ambient temperatures.
60°C - When terminated to equipment for circuits rated 100 amperes or less or marked for conductor sizes 
14 AWG through 1 AWG.
75°C - When terminated to equipment for circuits rated over 100 amperes or marked for conductors larger
than size 1 AWG.
90°C - Wet or dry locations. For ampacity derating purposes.
• For correction factors for different ambient temperatures and ampacities at different conductor 
temperature ratings see NEC Table 310.15(B)(16).
• NEC Article 240.4(D) requires that overcurrent protection not exceed 
15 amperes for 14 AWG, 20 amperes for 12 AWG, and 30 amperes for 10 AWG copper conductors 
after any correction factors for ambient temperature and number of conductors have been applied.  
Exceptions to this may be covered in NEC Article 240.4(E) through (G).

¹Where the 4th (white) conductor is the neutral of a balanced 3 phase system.
