♦ Second Press
If a wire length has been entered, the sec-
ond press displays the smaller of the two
wire sizes. If not solving for Voltage drop
wire size, then displays the maximum
ampacity.
♦ Third Press
Displays the wire size in Circular Mils.
Displays: CMIL
♦ Fourth Press
If a wire length has been entered, displays
the minimum wire ampacity rating. If no
wire length has been entered, displays the
NEC table referenced for the calculation.
Displays: NEC 310.16
S w
— 125% Ampacity
Used for motor wire sizing when the wire
must not exceed 80% of its rated ampacity
(125%A). This keystroke calculates wire
size based on 125% of the entered or cal-
culated Amps value. Displays: 125%
P
— Parallel Size
Used to find the size of parallel conductors
using amperage and an entered quantity of
wires. Parallel wire size calculations small-
er than 1/0 are displayed as “none” (display
shows “nonE”) as the NEC does not allow
parallel wire runs smaller than 1/0.
♦ First Press
When preceded by a number, calcu-
lates the applicable wire size for that
quantity of wires in parallel.
Displays: PAR WIRE SIZE
