We adjust ampacity for fill or correct for temperature. I had a hard time remembering which is which, but
FACT
Fill Adjust Correct Temperature
Reading thru 310.15 B derating applies to both.

You derate got both, not one or the other.
Tom know that. His point is that the word "adjust" is used in connection with the multiple CCCs derating, and the word "correct" is used in connection with the temperature derating. He is simply presenting a mnemonic, a memory aid, to help us remember which is which.

Is this "mnemonic" device large? When implanted, it will really help our memories?
Sign me up for the operation doc... :D

Actually, I think augmented, supplemented, and supplementary would be somewhat easy :wink:
