Triplexed Conductor Underground Direct Burial: Ampacity Tables

This document provides ampacity tables for triplexed conductors that are direct buried underground. It gives the ampacity ratings in amps for both copper and aluminum conductors with varying conductor sizes from 8 AWG to 1000 kcmil. The tables provide ratings for 1 or 2 circuits, with or without insulation, at temperature ratings of 90°C and 105°C. The document also specifies the assumed earth conditions of 20°C ambient temperature and 90 ohm-cm thermal resistivity.
