There are 4 single phase circuit to be wired in 900C THHN copper wire installed inside a conduit in an area with an ambient
temperature of 360C. If each circuit is designed to carry 12 amps continuous load current, what is the minimum size of wire for each
circuit?

A 2 single phase circuit is to be wired in 750C THW copper wire dedicatedly installed inside a conduit in an area with an ambient
temperature of 40oC. If the circuit is supposed to carry 150 amps noncontinuous load current, what is the minimum size of wire and
the circuit overcurrent protection? If the load becomes continuous, what would be the change in the size of wire and overcurrent
protection?
