    This document provides a table summarizing the amperage ratings for different sizes of copper and aluminum wire based on the Canadian Electrical Code from 2002. The table lists the allowable amperage for various wire gauges (AWG or kcmil) for different wire types including NMD90, RW90, TWN75, and others. Notes are included specifying that ampacities are for general use and based on not more than 3 conductors in a raceway or cable. Additional notes cover specific allowable ampacities for 3-wire 120/240 and 120/208V residential services.
