How to Derate - Ampacity Adjustments made simple for real life situations out in the field. 

\\n

So in this episode of Derating Simplified i will go through how to make ampacity adjustments for non-continuous load as well as continuous loads alike. I have to admit it wasn\'t easy trying to make this episode short or simple at all. It\'s really not that simple when you come to think of it and look at all the code references involved. But after doing a few examples or all different types of situations it becomes easier and easier. Specially out in the field when you actually need to put it to use. Should you have any questions feel free to contact me anytime on any of the social media sites that i will post down below. Also I\'m on youtube as well, I post video\'s just as I post podcasts. Should you have any podcast or video requests just drop me a text and i will do my best to get back to you ASAP. I will also put some of the major code references that are involved in this podcast. If i were you i would go and read through them. It would definitely help you understand a little more of what I spoke about in this podcast, along with helping you familiarize yourself with the code. Thanks for listening and catch me on youtube as well.
