Re: De-rating Revisited
Jerry;
Even though I can't ascertain that those wires do or don't run like that for 24" I'd still "assume" (dangerous word there) that the amount of wires and their proximity within that orifice would produce excessive heat build up.

Of course I'm not an electrician or an engineer and even the IRC does not specifically dis-allow (prohibit) that specific scenario, that being said.... if it looks like a duck......
