As operating temperature rises, the steel core elongates faster than the surrounding strands, pulling the conductor into sag ...

The term “ampacity” is used hundreds of times throughout the Code and is defined in Art. 100 as “the maximum current, in amperes, that a conductor can carry ...

Article 310 provides the general requirements for conductors, except those that are an integral part of equipment or are part of flexible cords or fixture wires. The most prominent feature of Art. 310 ...
