There's no such word as "'Ampacity". The current carrying capacity of 50mm cable is around 300A continuous or 365amps @ 60% duty cycle. It's generally used for engine starter circuits or high current welders.

Answer

'Ampacity' is a North American term for the 'current-carrying capacity' of a cable. It is not used in most other English-speaking countries.

Ampacity is in Merriam-Webster. If you're going to be douchey at least be right.

In North America you can not judge the ampacity of a cable by its outside diameter. Different cable manufacture's have different cable diameters depending on how the cables are wrapped, the type of insulation on the conductors and the size of the packing between the conductors.

Ampacity of the internal cable conductors are rated on the cross sectional area of the conductors inside the cable.
