Separately installed pressure connectors shall be used with conductors at the ampacities not exceeding the ampacity at the listed and identified temperature rating of the connector.
The temperature rating associated with the ampacity of a conductor must be selected and coordinated so that the lowest temperature rating of any conductor, equipment termination, or electrical device is not exceeded. Initially, it seems easy enough to comply with this requirement; however, there may be some confusion in the industry about what ampacities should be used in determining these temperature ratings.
The temperature characteristics of electrical equipment and device terminations depend upon the proper sizing of the electrical conductor and the rating of the connection. The ambient temperature surrounding the termination and any heat generated by the electrical equipment must also be taken into account.
