Table 13.5, Note 2 - The sources for the ampacities in this table are Table 310-16 of NFPA 70, National Electrical Code.
My _conjecture_ is that it will correspond to the 25% de-rate that is used for the self-heating for several conductors in a raceway.

What is foreseen in a servo system's current profile that warrants the extra "head room?"
