How to calculate the current carrying capacity of
electrical cables

Answer Posted / syed rafiudeen

Current carrying capacity = FLC / DF
To refer cable catelouge choose the cable sizes
-Derating factor (DF) =0.72
-Full load current (I)= P / (1.732 x V x P.F)

Is This Answer Correct ?    123 Yes 40 No
