Determine the ampacity of a No. 8 AWG copper conductor with THHN insulation that will be used in a 120 V, two-wire circuit in an industrial environment with an average ambient air temperature of no greater than 125°F (51.7°C). Three similar circuits will be carried in a conduit. Assume that a shared neutral is not used. Equipment terminal connections are rated at 167°F (75°C)
