1. You are correct in that the table 310.15(b)(6) permits service conductors, or feeder conductors that are the main power feeder to a dwelling unit
to have a rating of 100 amperes to 400 amperes. The conductors in this table correspond to the ampacity rating of the service, feeder or overcurrent device. This table does not indicate that the conductors in this table now have a new ampacity than the table 310.16, but only that they may be used in conjunction with a specific size service, feeder, overcurrent device.
2. Use of the conductor sizes in table 310.15(b)(6) is for a single set of service or feeder conductors not to parallel sets of conductors . If parallel sets of conductors are to be used than the ampacity table 310.16 must be used.
