Depending on conditions it is either 95 or 115 amps.

Hmm.. sounds like a test question. I haven't done homework in 40 years.

I doubt it Stan.
The NEC can be viewed on line at
NFPA 70: National Electrical CodeŽ (http://www.nfpa.org/aboutthecodes/AboutTheCodes.asp?DocNum=70&EditionID=238)
That will make a sane person run out into the middle of the night.
