There is a little fudge factor in there as well. The temperature rise and voltage drop are used to generate wire tables. As the voltage drop for a few inches of the CIM motor wire is small and temperature of the wire in air is different (lower) than the wire in conduit, there can be a little derating when comparing to standard wire tables. Add to that the series resistance of the speed controller and the final current will be lower at the motor wiring.
