CALCULATION SHEET
Date: 2009-03-17 Customer: Babcock
Calculation assumption:
- VARPREN ST 70 mm² Cable
- Tinned copper core
- Cable posed and without outer protection
- Thermal dissipation and suitable ventilation
- No heat source in vicinity
Ambient
30 40 45 50 55 60 70 80
temperature (°C)
Maximum intensity
630 600 590 575 558 540 500 450
(A)
Example:
Rated current: 1600A; Rated Voltage: 380V; Ambient Temperature: 50oC
Cables are put touched out on a wall and outdoors:
All these values are calculated in a theoretical way, it is thus necessary to verify these values by the practice.
