MC-HL dimensions
Nominal calculation, not one manufacturer's datasheet. The conductors are NEC Chapter 9 Table 8; the XHHW-2 walls, the grounds and the jacket are the values the makers print, and the corrugated sheath is a radial band fitted to four makers' diameters, because UL 1569 and UL 2225 were not read and no maker prints the sheath's wall. Check the datasheet before you specify or order.
Each row is one MC-HL size in copper at 600 V: the conductor from NEC Table 8, the walls as the makers catalogue them. Open a row for every layer and its source. What MC-HL means, letter by letter.
