♦ Second Press
If a wire length has been entered, the
second press displays the smaller of
the two wire sizes. If not solving for
voltage drop wire size, then displays
the maximum ampacity.
♦ Third Press
If a wire length has been entered, dis-
plays the minimum wire ampacity rat-
ing.
S w — 125% Ampacity
Used for motor wire sizing when the
wire must not exceed 80% of its rated
ampacity (125%A). This keystroke
calculates wire size based on 125% of
the entered or calculated amps value.
Displays: 125%.
P — Parallel Size
Used to find the size of parallel conduc-
tors using amperage and an entered
quantity of wires. Parallel wire size
calculations smaller than 1/0 are dis-
played as “none” (display shows
“nonE”) as the NEC does not allow
parallel wire runs smaller than 1/0.
♦ First Press
When preceded by a number, calcu-
lates the applicable wire size for that
quantity of wires in parallel.
Displays: PAR WIRE SIZE.
