Notes:
1. Where multiple sets of service-entrance conductors are used as permitted in 230.40, Exception No.2, the equivalent size of the largest service-entrance conductor shall be determined by the largest sum of the areas of the corresponding conductors of each set.
2. Where there are no service-entrance conductors, the grounding electrode conductor size shall be determined by the equivalent size of the largest service-entrance conductor required for the load to be served.
 aThis table also applies to the derived conductors of seperately derived ac systems.
 bSee installation restrictions in Section 250-64(A).
