Oh I don't mind, I'm actually having fun with this one, no name calling so far.
If I remember correctly you own big guns, I will not be name calling. :grin:
Right and also because the coductors almost never see full demand load approaching their ampacity
I sure don't see a bunch of homes burning down over this issue.
Here is what the CMP said about the changes for the 2008.
Panel Statement: The panel agrees that the present wording is ambiguous. It is the panel’s intent that this allowance apply only to conductors carrying 100% of the dwelling unit’s diversified load.
"Revised in the '96 code, Note 3 now permits the main feeder to a dwelling unit to be sized based on the conductor sizes in the the Table for Note 3, even if other loads, such as ac units and pool loads, are fed from the same service." That's from the "96 handbook.
Handbook, shmandbook that ain't code. :grin:
