Ron's question was why, not what or how.
the link only tells what and how not why 314,16 exists...
Respectfully,

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.
