Ampacity in accordance with Table #4 of the Canadian Electrical Code Part #1 (1994).

* For 3-wire 120/240 and 120/208V residential services or sub-services, the allowable Ampacity for sizes #6, #2 and #4/0 AWG aluminum shall be 60, 100 and 200 amperes respectively. In these cases the 5% adjustment per C.E. Code Rule 8-106(1) cannot be applied.

**Assuming the 4th conductor in a 4/c cable is the neutral of a balanced 3 phase 4 wire system. For 3-wire 120/240 and 120/208V residential services or sub-services, the allowable Ampacity for sizes #6, #2 and #4/0 AWG aluminum shall be 60, 100 and 200 amperes respectively. In these cases the 5% adjustment per C.E. Code Rule 8-106(1) cannot be applied.
