supplemental electrode isnt required.
Q. How is the ampacity determined for NM-B cable?
A. Conductor ampacity is calculated on the 90C insulation rating of the conductor in accordance with Table
310.15(B)(16); however, the conductors must be sized to the termination temperature rating of 60C [334.80].
Lets work a sample problem to help you better understand these guidelines.
What size Type NM cable is required to supply a 9.60kW, 240V, single-phase fixed space heater with a 3A
blower motor? The terminals are rated 75C.
