* Inductive reactance based three current-carrying conductors.
† Ampacity based on NEC 400.5(A)(2) and is for a single isolated cable in air operated at an ambient temperature of 30°C connected to utilization equipment so that only three conductors are current-carrying. If 4 or 5 conductors are current-carrying, derate by 0.80 per NEC Table 400.5(A)(3).
