Mineral insulated cable ampacity chart.

Usually a general purpose house circuit is designed for 20. However the terminations are only rated for 75 degrees c. You must use the correct size wire for the current load requirement of the circuit to prevent the wire from overheating. The 500mcm mineral insulated cable we have specified has a table 310 16 ampacity of 430a at 90 degrees c.

Table 310 15 b 16 formerly table 310 16 allowable ampacities of insulated copper conductors rated up to and including 2000 volts 60 c through 90 c 140 f through 194 f not more than three current carrying conductors in raceway cable or earth directly buried based on ambient temperature of 30 c 86 f. The number and type of electrical devices connected to a circuit determine the ampacity requirement of the conductor. Current is measured in amperes or amps. Southwire is one of the world s leading manufacturers of wire and cable tools components and assembled solutions.

Nvent pyrotenax cables are approved to push more power through a smaller area saving space in your overall design. Home products our products lie in the walls of your home in the transmission lines that power our neighborhoods in the places we work schools where we learn and the hospitals that keep us well.
