I have been discussing the derating factor for 12 gagewire. The way I read the NEC is, 3 or more current carrying conductors usetable 316. Well I see #12 wire is rated for 30 amps at 90'. And the asteriskfor 20 amps is for over current protection only. So at 70% of 30 amps which is21 amps I can run 7 to 9 # 12s in a conduit, right???
