NEC Ampacity Tables

NEC Ampacity Tables

NEC Ampacity Tables

(OP)
Sirs, which NEC Ampacity Tables I could suitably use to size up XLPE power cables directly buried to earth? I wish to refrain using specific cable manufacturer catalogues since we do not know the cable vendor at this point. Is there an NEC ampacity table applicable to XLPE insulated 3 core cables?

What voltage?

RE: NEC Ampacity Tables

(OP)
600VAC and 4.16kV application. Direct burial and above ground in tray applications. I find it more convenient to use the code so as not to be dependent to any manufacturer values, specially during conceptual design.
