Ampacity of SO cable (vs single wire in air)
Ampacity of SO cable (vs single wire in air)
(OP)
Looking at the standard tables in my uglies....
#8 in free air is good to 60A
#8 in a raceway is good to 40A (3 conductors in raceway)
What about SO cable? I know that the reasoning for the derating in the raceway, so is SO under the same consideration because the conductors are bundled up together...or does the fact the heavy neoprene jacket allow it to be used to 60A

Sorry, but I can't think of the section and my code book is at work.
