Wire Temperature Ratings and Terminations
Many electrical inspectors can tell you that confusion about wire temperature ratings and equipment termination temperature requirements results in their rejecting installations. Information about this topic can be found in the National Electrical Code® (NEC®), testing agency directories, product testing standards, and manufacturers' literature, but many people do not consult these sources until it is too late.
Schneider Electric published this Data Bulletin that addresses:
- Why are Temperature Ratings Important?
- The NEC Rules
- Caution on using Lug Ratings
- Available Equipment Terminations
- What About Higher-Rated Conductors and Derating Factors?
