^† Ampacities have been adjusted for more than Three Current-Carrying Conductors
^† Ampacities based upon 2023 NEC Table 310.16 and do not take into account the overcurrent protection limitations in NEC 240.4(D) of 15 Amps for 14 AWG CU, 20 Amps for 12 AWG CU, and 30 Amps for 10 AWG CU (independent of the conductor temperature rating and stranding). Also, see NEC sections 310.15 and 110.14(C) for additional requirements.
