Answer / manoranjan
Use of formula is always a cumbersome exercise.
In pactical 1.5A/sqmm for al,cable & 2.5A/sq.mm is
considered in practical way. means a 50sqmm Al cable will
carry at least 75A and same size copper cable will carry
125A.

Answer / satish
Thumb rule
For Al Conductor Cable Multiply Sq mm size by 1.5.
&
For Cu cable Multiply sq mm size by 4.
e.g.
70 sq mm Al Cable can take 70×1.5=105 A
&
16 sq mm Cu cable can take 16×4=64 A

Answer / gaurav
1.0 To 1.5A/sqmm for al,cable & 2.0 TO 2.5 A/sq.mm is
considered in practical way. means a 50sqmm Al cable will
carry at least 75A and same size copper cable will carry
125A.

Answer / martin
Check the CCC by any supplier's brochure.
Derate the CCC on the following parameters
Maximum Ambient temp.
Cable buried UG / on air
Clearance between adjuscent cables.
185 mm2 4 c Alu XLPE cable's ccc = 200 Amps in the Gulf.

Answer / devi prasad
for cu current in z sq mm = z× 4Amp
for ALU =Z×2 Amp

Answer / aloke kumar pati
My experience with electricity does not agree with the above answers. For years I have used a 1.5 sq. mm. Al service line for a load of at least 2 KW (ignoring the motor- based appliances whose initial current is much higher). This load required at least 9 amps. which came through the 1.5 sq. mm. Service line! Thus the 'thumb-rule' of multiplying sq. mm. by 1.5 to get the amperage in Aluminium cable is belied in the above instance given by me.
