Values for resistance are based on electrical resistivity for copper 1.724 x 10 -8 Ω m (0.0174 μΩ m) and electrical resistivity for aluminum 2.65 x 10 -8 Ω m (0.0265 μΩ m). Current Load Ratings - Copper (amps) 1)ġ) Current ratings for up to 1000 V, PVC-insulated single and multicore wiring cables, ambient temperature up to 30 oC

Always check the manufactures data before detailed engineering.įor full table with Single Core and Multi Core Current Ratings - rotate the screen! Operating temperature of the conductor, ambient temperature and type of conductor insulation is important. Be aware that the current load depends on installation method - the enclosure - and how well the resistance heat is removed from the cable. The table below indicates the current ratings of PVC-insulated single and multicore wiring cables. Telephone wire is typical AWG 22, 24, or 26. Typical household wiring is AWG number 12 or 14. The higher the number - the thinner the wire. Because of the small gaps between the strands in a stranded wire, a stranded wire with the same current-carrying capacity and electrical resistance as a solid wire, always have a slightly larger overall diameter. The AWG table below is for a single, solid, round conductor. AWG is sometimes also known as Brown and Sharpe (B&S) Wire Gauge. The AWG - American Wire Gauge - is used as a standard method denoting wire diameter, measuring the diameter of the conductor (the bare wire) with the insulation removed.
