How to calculate current carrying capacity of copper conductor _ such as cable size 25sq mm,50 sq mm, 75 sq mm, 100 sq mm

Answer Posted / santosh nanda

Current is calculated from Current Density Formula

In the field of electromagnetism, Current Density is the measurement of electric current (charge flow in amperes) per unit area of cross-section (m2). This is a vector quantity, with both a magnitude (scalar) and a direction.

J = I/A

J = current density in amperes/m2

I = current through a conductor, in amperes

A = cross-sectional area of the conductor, m2

For Ex:
The current through the conductor is I = 6 mA = 0.006 amperes (or 6 x 10-3 amps). The area of the wire is A = 4 mm2 = 0.004 m2 (or 4 x 10-3 m2). Use the equation for current density.

J = I/A

J = 0.006 amps/0.004 m2

J = 1.5 amps/m2
