(H) Dwelling Unit Service and Feeder Conductors.
Dwelling unit service and feeder conductors shall be permitted to be protected against overcurrent at theampacity values in 310.12 at the service or feeder ratings specified in 310.12.

310.12 does not specify ampacity values; rather it assigns a higher "service rating" or "feeder rating" to certain conductors for single phase dwelling unit supplies.
