   I'm a bit confused: that table has ampacity at 3 different temperatures   
   (60, 75, & 90C) - does that mean that at the current given, the wire   
   will heat to that temperature?  If so, an insulation rating of 20C &   
   ambient 30C (50C insulation rating) isn't consistent with the wire being   
   60, 75, or 90 is it?  As I said: confused.
