NEC 110.14(C) seems to me to indicate that you use the temperature derate factor from the column of the conducter you're using (such as 90C) and then compare the resultant ampacity to the ampacity in the 75C column (if that's what your connections are rated). This is how I've been doing the calculation. I've come across another source though that says you should use the temp derate from the terminal temp column even though the conductor has a higher temp rating. Can anyone settle this for me?
Thanks,
