Ampacity Wire Sizing
The required wire size of a service
conductor can be determined based on
the specified electrical requirements
and the
w key. The wire size is auto-
matically recalculated whenever
the wire insulation (temperature) ratings
or wire material (copper or aluminum)
types are revised. Wire sizing is based
on the requirements defined in NEC
Tables 310-16 and 310-17.
