(1) Equipment Provisions. The determination of termination
provisions of equipment shall be based on 110.14(C)(1)(a) or
(C)(1)(b). Unless the equipment is listed and marked otherwise,
conductor ampacities used in determining equipment termination
provisions shall be based on Table 310.15(B)(16) as
appropriately modified by 310.15(B)(7).
(a) Termination provisions of equipment for circuits
rated 100 amperes or less, or marked for 14 AWG through 1
AWG conductors, shall be used only for one of the following:
(1) Conductors rated 60°C (140°F).
(2) Conductors with higher temperature ratings, provided the
ampacity of such conductors is determined based on the
60°C (140°F) ampacity of the conductor size used.
(3) Conductors with higher temperature ratings if the equipment
is listed and identified for use with such conductors.
(4) For motors marked with design letters B, C, or D, conductors
having an insulation rating of 75°C (167°F) or
higher shall be permitted to be used, provided the ampacity
of such conductors does not exceed the 75°C
(167°F) ampacity.
