scope:
This standard contains guidelines for calculating amperages and selecting wires for temperatures from 200°C to 450°C and for voltage ratings up to and including 1000 V rms.
Ampacity charts, temperature correction factors, and derating factors are provided along with extensive examples of calculations.
This information is provided to assist the user in their selection of a wire or cable for a particular application. This guideline contains the best engineering estimates for calculation, but it cannot guarantee a successful performance. It is recommended that a trial installation be prepared and appropriate evaluations be conducted to ensure acceptable performance of the completed systems.
