Note: The factors in this table are applicable to groups of cables all of one size. If, due to known operating conditions, a cable is expected to
carry not more than 30% of its grouped rating, it may be ignored for the purposes of obtaining the rating factor for the rest of the group.
When cables having differing conductor operating temperatures are grouped together, the current rating shall be based upon the lowest
operating temperature in the group.
