For the common small cables used in domestic electricity the maximum current for a short time is 10 amps per mm2, reducing to 8 A/mm2 for loads that are on for 1½ hours per day, to 4 A/mm2 for loads that are on for 6 hours/day, and to 2 A/mm2 for continuous loads. Currents higher than the above will give excessive energy losses in heating the cables.

How do you relate ampere rating with copper wire?
The larger in diameter the wire is, the larger the current carrying capacity the wire has.
What is the Current carrying capacity of 300sqmm copper wire?
in air it will be 665Amps.
35 sq mm copper wire current carrying capacity?
It can carry upto 100 Ampere.
What is the current carrying capacity of silver wire?
The current capacity varies depending on the length and diameter of the wire
How do you calculate the current carrying capacity of cables?
if you know the gauge of the wire you can learn its current carrying capacity
Will a copper wire not carrying a current be attracted to a magnet?
No, a copper wire that is not carrying a current will not be attracted to a magnet. Copper is not a magnetic material, so it does not interact with magnetic fields in the same way that magnetic materials like iron or nickel do.
What is the maximum current capacity of 4 sq mm copper wire?
I can say it is 29 Amps.But again it depends on the cable length.The more the cable length is the less the current carrying capacity will be.
What is the current carrying capacity of ACSR conductor at 45 degree ambient?
To answer a current carrying capacity question the size of the wire has to be stated.
What is the current carrying capacity of 35 sq mm copper wire?
A 35 sq mm copper wire with an insulation factor of 75 or 90 degrees C is rated at 115 and 120 amps respectively.
What is most likely to be attracted to magnet a piece of glass a balloon a plastic piece chess or a coolpper wire carrying current?
a copper wire carrying current
