AC wiring must be sized appropriately to carry full load current on the
input and output AC circuits in accordance with the electrical codes or
regulations applicable to your installation. Table 1-4 is based on the U.S.
National Electrical Code, 2003 Ed. and the Canadian Electrical Code,
assuming 2-conductor-plus-ground cable, using 75 °C wiring, at an
ambient temperature of 30 °C. Other codes and regulations may be
applicable to your installation.
