† Ampacities are based on Table 310.15 (B)(16) of the NEC, 2014 Edition. Ampacities of insulated conductors rated up to and including 2000 Volts, based on ambient temperature of 30°C (86°F)
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.
