Options
- Cable in Duct (CIC)
- Abrasion Resistant
Ampacity
90ºC conductor temperature, 20ºC ambient, RHO 50, 100% load factor for three conductor triplex with neutral carrying only unbalanced load. Technical data for cable with solid black neutral is identical to yellow extruded stripe data. All yellow extruded stripe cable is XLP insulation. To determine correct ampacity by conductor size, please consult the National Electric Code, latest edition.
