Allowable ampacity for 10-2 copper NM-B is 30 A.

Capacity for cable 70mm (143-212 amp) and may vary depending on installation method used.
The ampacity for copper is 1000A per square inch, in some places is 700A psi.
No. The larger the conductor the lower the resistance and the higher the ampacity.
The amperage rating is dependent upon the insulation rating. A pair of 25mm squared wires touching each other are rated at 131 amps. Three 25mm squared wires touching each other are rated at 110 amps.
If you want to operate the conductors maximum capacity, the conductor needs the heat, that the amperage produces, to be dissipated. This is why in the electrical code book there are two amperage ratings. The first one is for a free air rating which allows for a high ampacity of the wire. The other rating is for three conductors in a conduit which confines the cooling capacity and so the ampacity rating of these wires is lowered. The same procedure is used in cable spacings in ladder tray networks.

do islec have an agreement with NMB

NMB wire is a type of electrical cable commonly used in residential wiring. It consists of two or more insulated wires bundled together with a bare copper ground wire. NMB wire is designed for use in dry locations and is often used for powering outlets, switches, and lighting fixtures in homes.
Most local codes require that when extending or adding circuits, the circuit must be brought up to national code standards. This would necessitate that if you have a 2 wire circuit and are adding to it, that you rewire the entire circuit to 3 wires. However, in actual practice, it is common to see 3 wire nmb connected to 2 wire nmb without full re-wiring. It is important to note that when this happens, the ground wire in the 3 wire cable serves no purpose. You end up with what looks like a 3 wire grounding configuration at a receptacle or other outlet when in actuality you have no equipment ground. This allows a hazard to exist that no longer conforms to current code, and if someone were to be injured you may be held liable.

The rule of thumb is 1mm square=6Amp so 10mm square will,for safety reasons and for a copper conductor, carry 50Amps.
Note me back
It is a North American electrical term. It is a combination the words amp and capacity rolled into one word "ampacity". When talking about how much amperage a wire can legally draw, it is referred to as the wire's "ampacity".
