Have a situation and a question. I am rewiring a house and the owner wants 3-way switches for her ceiling lights PLUS a switch for the fan. No problem with the wiring though it's not what I usually do so I have to study the situation. This means that a lot of wires are being sent into a J-Box, some 12ga some 14. Here in this place we are limited to only use 14ga for lights up to 200 watts.
The question is: What is the reason for the limitations on table 314.16 (A) of the NEC?
Is it only to make sure that there is not overcrowding? I always tape my wirenuts on, so they would stay on and not get knocked off.
Does it have to do with heat or magnetism created by current in the wires? I wouldn't think a lot of either is created.
