Cables and multistrand wires main catalog 27
Temperature-dependence of
current-carrying capacity
VDE 0298, part 4, gives recommendations
for the current-carrying capacity of leads.
The following curves show the correlation be-
tween the current-carrying capacity of flexible
leads and the ambient temperature. 100%
corresponds to the rated current stated in
the catalogue. The graph shows the curves
for soft stranded copper wires with PVC,
TPE and silicone insulation, and for tinned
stranded copper wires (TPE-SN and SIL-SN).
Table mm² / AWG
In the catalogue, the nominal cross-section
of our multistrand wires is stated in sq. mm.
The following chart gives an indication of
their comparability with corresponding AWG
values.
