Notes: 1. 310.15(B)(2)(3)(a)Exception No, 5 Circuit is Type AC cable or to Type MC cable without an overall outer jacket under the following conditions:(1) Each cable has not more than three current-carrying conductors. (2) The conductors are 12 AWG copper.(3) Not more than 20 current-carrying conductors are bundled, stacked, or supported on “bridle rings. (Load must be 18.6 amperes or less - ambient multiplier 1.04 x .6 x 30))2. 240.4(B) Devices Rated 800 Amperes or Less. The next higher standard overcurrent device rating (above the ampacity of the conductors being protected) shall be permitted to be used, provided all of the following conditions are met: (1) The conductors being protected are not part of a multioutlet branch circuit supplying receptacles for cord and- plug-connected portable loads. Also see Table 210.24 and Section 210.23.
