How to calculate the current carrying capacity of
electrical cables

Answer Posted / venkatesh a

For calculate the current carrying capacity.
First we should calculate the cross section area of the
conductor (sq.mm) and conductor material used in cable.

Each and every matals are having its own current carring
capacity. This table is avail at IS.

Current carring capacity may reduce by some other factors
like the cable length and insulation's heat withstandable
capacity.
