Typically we use Tables 310.15(B)(16) and 310.15(B)(3)(a) when calculating the ampacity of conductors in conduit. We also always run THHN, therefore use temperature column for 90C (194F).
If most circuit breakers, terminals, etc are rated at 75C (167F), should we use the 75C column even though we use THHN wire?
Seems like I?ve read in the NEC something about this, but can?t find it.
