Ampacity Table Nec 2024. The ampacity table, formerly known as 310.15(b)(16), has been renamed as table 310.16 through table 310.21. While the addition of 240.4(d)(3) has some guidance, this is not where a user would go to find an ampacity.
Per nec 110.14(c) i must determine the ampacity of the termination based upon nec table 310.16. When selecting a cable, one must know its wire ampacity rating.
For Example, 14 Gauge Wire Comes Around To 18.75 Amps At 60*C, 12 Gauge Wire Only Around 21 Amps At 60*C And 10 Gauge Around 27 Amps At 60*C.
Correction factors for ambient temperature from nec table 310.15(b)(1) over 30° c, 86° f:
Ampacities For Conductors Rated 0 Volts To 2000 Volts Shall Be As Specified In The Ampacity Table 310.16 Through Table 310.21, As Modified By 310.15(A) Through And.
(1) conductors are rated 0 volts through 2000 volts.
From Table 430.250, Full Load Current = 24.2 A.

Unless Recently Changed, For Lv Cables, The Nec Does Not *Require* Derating For Mutual Heating Effect In Underground Duct Banks.
The base ampacity of a #4/0 termination at 75c is 230a.
