How can CALCULAT the current carrying capacity of aluminum
and cOpper cables respective of that Sq.mm ? with
formulas ?

Answer Posted / sbb

As we know that Resistance of conductor is calculated by

R= row*l/a
where row=specific resistance of the conductor i.e
aluminium and copper(depends of material)
l=length of the conductor
a=area of cross-section of the conductor.

And as we know that the conductivity of the aluminium
conductor is <=1 (depends upon the distance of the cable
laid avg.0.8-1) and conductivity of copper is <=1.5
(depends on cable laid. avg. 1.2-1.5).

for ex.take cable length of 180 sq.mm Al. cable

if we want to know the current carryng capacity is
180*o.9=168 A approx.
