(1) Ampacities are in accordance with Table 310.60(C)(74) of the NEC for triplexed or three single conductor aluminum cables in isolated conduit in air based on a conductor temperature of 90˚C (194˚F) or 105˚C (221˚F), temperature denoted in column header, and an ambient air temperature of 40˚C (104˚F). (2) Ampacities are in accordance with Table 310.60(C)(78) of the NEC for triplexed or three single conductor aluminum cables in underground ducts (three conductors per duct), based on a conductor temperature of 90˚C (194˚F) or 105˚C (221˚F), temperature denoted in column header, and an ambient earth temperature of 20˚C (68˚F), electrical duct arrangement per Figure 310.60 Detail 1, 100% load factor, and earth thermal resistance (rho) of 90. (3) Ampacities are based on single conductor Type MV-105 sizes #1/0 AWG and larger in an uncovered tray in accordance with Section 392.80(B)(2) of the NEC at an ambient air temperature of 40˚C (104˚F) the ampacities are based on 75% of the values per Table 310.60(C)(70), operating temperature denoted in column header. For cable trays with unventilated covers for more than 6 feet, the ampacities shall not exceed 70% of the values per Table 310.60(C)(70). (4) Based on nominal cable diameters, three single cables in the duct (PVC Schedule 40) with no ground wire and a maximum of 40% fill. Jam ratio has been considered but should be checked for individual installations. Note: a) Sizes smaller than 1/0 AWG do not include “FOR CT USE”. b) The NESC Lightning bolt symbol is on all Uniblend® constructions. 0.720 0.795 0.080 2.03 1.00 25.65 0.770 0.850 0.080 2.03 1.05 27.18 0.870 0.945 0.080 2.03 1.14 29.72 0.990 1.065 0.080 2.03 1.27 33.53 1.170 1.250 0.080 2.03 1.45 38.35 239 275 328 359 396 442 526 599 661 807 1012 1349 1664 356 409 488 534 590 658 783 891 984 1201 1506 2008 2476 25 39 62 78 99 125 158 199 234 329 468 703 937 37 58 92 116 147 186 235 296 348 490 696 1046 45 49 54 57 60 63 67 72 77 84 95 111 1394 122 67 73 65 72 84 94 70 91 TRAY (3) 105˚C 90˚C 105˚C 75 98 81 115 130 120 130 84 130 150 135 90 150 170 155 94 175 200 175 100 200 225 200 107 230 260 230 115 255 290 250 125 310 350 305 141 385 430 370 165 485 540 455 182 565 640 525 145 - - - - - - - - 165 150 170 190 175 195 215 205 225 245 235 265 270 260 290 330 325 360 400 400 450 490 525 585 565 630 705 SIZING (4) (INCHES) 2 2.5 2.5 2.5 3 3 3 3 3.5 3.5 4 5 5 CONDUIT Phone: 888-593-3355 www.generalcable.com
