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.
*Spaced by a clearance between adjacent surfaces of at least one cable diameter. Where the horizontal clearances between adjacent cables exceeds 2 cable
diameters no correction factor need be applied.
