The ampacity of a conductor is the maximum current it can carry continuously, under the conditions of use, without exceeding its temperature rating [Article 100 ...
Q. How is the conductor ampacity for photovoltaic (PV) circuits calculated? A. PV circuit conductors must be sized to the larger of 690.8(B)(2)(a) or 690.8(B)(2)(b). Sizing according to 690.8(B)(2)(a) ...
There are two main considerations for sizing DC wiring from the output of a power supply to its load. They are ampacity (fancy term for the number of Amps) and voltage-drop (remember ohms law: V = I x ...
