Assume a bank of heating strips is rated at 20 K W and is connected to 240 volts. The heat strips operate for 4 hours at
a time and are located in an area with an ambient temperature of 96 degrees F. The termination temperature rating of the
heat disconnect lugs is unknown. Three (3) Copper conductors installed in a conduit with type THWN-2 insulation are to
be used to connect the heaters. What size conductors should be used?
