* The NEC allows rounding up to the next standard fuse size from the cable rating, i.e. 150-amp
cable size rounds up to a standard 175-amp size. The term "free air" is defined by the NEC as
cabling that is not enclosed in conduit or a raceway. Cables enclosed in raceways or conduits have
substantially lower continuous current carrying ability due to heating factors.
** Nuisance tripping is possible if operated at 2.5 kVA continuously with a 250-amp breaker
