† Ampacities are based on Table 310.16 of the NEC 2020 Edition. Ampacities of insulated conductors rated up to and including 2000 Volts with not more than three current-carrying conductors in raceway, cable or direct buried based on ambient temperature of 30ºC (86ºF).
MBR is based on an operating voltage of less than or equal to 1000 volts. MBR for operating voltages above 1000 Volt is 8 X OD per NEC 300.34.
