The calculation power of AmpCalc eliminates the restrictions inherent with the fixed configurations in the NEC Code. However, the following tables demonstrate that AmpCalc computes ampacities very close to the Code values when the same system configurations and cable properties are utilized.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
