Current ratings for UL-CSA cables

Current ratings
PVC-insulated single and multicore wiring cables according to UL-AWM and CSA-TEW standards are used in switchboard and distribution cabinets of electrical equipments and as well as for the installation of machines and transformers in protecting tubes. PVC-insulation is allowed at maximum temperature range of 1058 C. The indicated values stated in the following tables are considered as guiding values. In critical situation the rules and recommendations for the current ratings should be followed.
