Notes:
1. Conductor ratings are based on NEC Table 310.17.
2. Deleted.
3. All wires must be UL listed.
4. Conductors must be separated for air circulation – not bundled
5. Parallel conductor lengths must be equal within 2% (e.g. two parallel conductors 10 feet
long must match in length within 2.4”).
6. For components like circuit breakers, the 75°C column in NEC Table 310.17 must be used.
7. For components like bus bars that allow 90°C connections, the 90°C column in NEC Table
310.17 can be used.
