Specification

Allowable Ampacity for 12/4C Solid Copper MC Stat Steel THHN Insulation 277/480V Light Green Striped Interlocked Armored Cable: 100 Amps

Applications:

Branch circuits in patient care areas of hospitals, nursing homes, outpatient facilities, dental offices, clinics, and medical centers (excluding emergency, life safety, or critical care locations) are designed for normal or general-purpose power in healthcare settings. They are suitable for Places of Assembly, as defined by NEC Article 518, and Patient Care Areas, as per NEC Article 517. These circuits can be installed under raised floors, above suspended ceilings, in environmental air-handling spaces, exposed or concealed dry locations, surface-mounted, or fished. They are ideal for applications requiring isolated or redundant grounding, ensuring reliable performance in healthcare environments.
