CalculationsQuestion 28 of 110
A #2 Cu THHN (90 C ampacity 130 A) runs with 6 current-carrying conductors (0.80 factor) in a 40 C ambient (0.91 factor). What is the adjusted-and-corrected ampacity?
a.130 A
b.115 A
c.104 A
d.95 A
Explanation
Apply both factors to the 90 C ampacity: 130 x 0.80 x 0.91 = 94.6 A, about 95 A.
