I would have thought that the cable sizing tool should apply derating when there are is more than one parralel cable. Am I mistaken in this?

Caj,

thanks for pointing this out. I think your right and the calculator should be applying group derating. I will have the code modified to reflect this over the next couple of days.

120202 Edit: code changes have been made. The updated version of the calculator is now live.
