Greetings,
Considering the following scenario: some multiconductor cables inside a raceway, for example, a PVC Conduit
(Please check the attached image)
Each multiconductor cable has three current carrying conductors, for example each supplying a different three phase load.
What should be the Adjustment Factor for More Than Three Current-Carrying Conductors considered for the ampacity of this section?
- 100% (No derating), as each cable has no more than 3 CCCs or,
- 50%, given 3CCCs per cable times 4 cables = 12CCCs inside the raceway
Thanks in advance!
