Understanding the 75°C vs 90°C column in Ampacity Table. . . The columns indicate how much amperage is required to raise the temperature of that size conductor to that column's temperature under standardized conditions So a 2 0 XHHW will reach 75°C at 135A and 90°C at 150A The wire insulation is good for 90°C, so for sizing the wire, we can use the

Circuits from multiple sources in the same conduit. Is there any code against having wires from multiple power sources using the same conduit? I know article 300 says your aloud to use the same conduit for different voltages as long as all wires are rated for highest voltage present, and different voltages would mean different power sources I
