From NEC Table 310.16, 10GA. 75C wire is rated for 35Amps at a 30C Ambient.
Does this mean that at 30C ambient, the 12Ga. wire itself will reach a temperature of 75C if a 35Amp continuious load is applied to the wire?
Is this also true for Type SA (SRML) 200C wire?
From NEC Table 310.18, 10GA. SA (SRML) 200C wire is rated for 60Amps at 40C Ambient. At 60Amps will the SA (SRML) wire temperature reach 200C?
