Ambient temperature: 30C

Conductor operating temperature: 90C
1. Where a conductor operates at a temperature exceeding 70C it must be ascertained that the equipment connected to the conductor is suitable for the
conductor operating temperature (see Regulation 512.1.2).
2. Where cables in this table are connected to equipment or accessories designed to operate at a temperature not exceeding 70C, the current ratings given in
the equivalent table for 70C thermoplastic insulated cables (Table 4D3A) must be used (see Regulation 523.1).
The above table is in accordance with Table 4E3A of the 17th Edition of IEE Wiring Regulations.

* Spacings larger than one cable diameter will result in a larger voltage drop.
The above table is in accordance with Table 4E3B of the 17th Edition of IEE Wiring Regulations.
For cables having conductors of 16mm2 or less cross-sectional area their inductances can be ignored and (mV/A/m)r values only are tabulated. For cables having
conductors greater than 16mm2, cross-sectional area the impedance values are given as (mV/A/m)z, together with the resistive component (mV/A/m)r and the
reactive component (mV/A/m)x.

conductor operating temperature (see Regulation 512.1.2).
2. Where cables in this table are connected to equipment or accessories designed to operate at a temperature not exceeding 70C, the current ratings given in
the equivalent table for 70C thermoplastic insulated cables (Table 4D4A) must be used (see Regulation 523.1).
