(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. EASY GLIDER ®
