    Calculating wire ampacity!

    This podcast digs into how we calculate the ampacity of wire using the 2018 CEC.  While this is the Canadian code, the principles are the same.  If you use the NEC make sure you comment below and let's compare the codes. This is the audio from a youtube video I did on wire ampacity to see the video click on the link below: https://youtu.be/IKnS9oXOELg Need a code book?NEC: https://amzn.to/3aspG1OCEC: https://amzn.to/2G7PdiU 👉Join the Electric Academy and receive a free PDF of online resources for electricians:https://np378.infusionsoft.com/app/pa... 🤜Here is how you can offer your support to all the work of the Electric academy:https://www.patreon.com/electricacademyFor as little as $1 a month you can help keep all the resources free and awesome (Plus you get swag!). 🤳For access to the free online courses for electrical theory:https://app2ceo.thinkific.com/
