Ampacity of Cables Rated 2000 Volts or Less. In cablebus that terminates at equipment with conductor temperature limitations, the allowable ampacity of single-conductor cables shall be as permitted by 310.15(A)(2). The adjustment factors of 310.15(B)(3) (a) shall not apply to the ampacity of cables in cablebus. The ampacity of single-conductor cables, nominally rated 2000 volts or less, shall comply with the following:
- The ampacities for 600 kcmil and larger single conductor cables in ventilated cablebus shall not exceed 75 percent of the allowable ampacities in Table 310.15(B)(17) and Table 310.15(B)(19).
- Where cablebus are continuously covered for more than 1.8 m (6 ft) with solid unventilated covers, the ampacities for 600 kcmil and larger cables shall not exceed 70 percent of the allowable ampacities in Table 310.15(B)(17) and Table 310.15(B)(19).
- The ampacities for 1/0 AWG through 500 kcmil single conductor cables in ventilated cablebus shall not exceed 65 percent of the allowable ampacities in Table 310.15(B)(17) and Table 310.15(B)(19).
- Where cablebus are continuously covered for more than 1.8 m (6 ft) with solid unventilated covers, the ampacities for 1/0 AWG through 500 kcmil cables shall not exceed 60 percent of the allowable ampacities in Table 310.15(B)(17) and Table 310.15(B)(19).
