Hi,
I'm getting myself all jammed up on this section 110.15(C)(1)
How does this section jive with 310.15(B)(16)?
For instance, I'm looking to install a 100 amp sub-panel to a detached pool house on a single family dwelling. I was looking at the equipment and saw that my circuit breaker is rated for 75C and thought that I can use #3 THHN then I started reading elsewhere that because of 110.15(C)(1) that I have to abide by 60C. So I need help understanding if I'm reading the code correctly.
Not to mention the confusion of the grounding conductor I thought should be #8 according to the NEC but read that it should be #6 or even #4 and now I've just got myself all confused.
Why is the code so confusing?
