The ampacity of a conductor is the maximum current it can carry continuously, under the conditions of use, without exceeding its temperature rating [Article 100 ...
The ampacity of a conductor can be determined either by using the tables in accordance with 310.15(b), or under engineering supervision as provided in 310.15(C). FPN No. 1: Ampacities provided by this ...
There are two main considerations for sizing DC wiring from the output of a power supply to its load. They are ampacity (fancy term for the number of Amps) and voltage-drop (remember ohms law: V = I x ...
