NEC 2008 Article 110.14 (C):
The temperature rating associated with the ampacity of a conductor shall be selected and coordinated so as not to exceed the lowest temperature rating of any connected termination, conductor, or device. Conductors with temperatur ratings higher than specified for terminations shall be permitted to be used for ampacity adjustment, correction or both.
I read it many times but I did nor quite understand what it want to mean?
I will appreciate if anybody can explain thie article with examples.
Thanks,
