You have to be specific. whether the conductor is aluminum or copper. Current carrying capacity will be different for these two types. Copper cable can take more load than aluminum cable for same diameter.

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 are the ratings and certificates for Mr- Bean - 1990?
Mr- Bean - 1990 is rated/received certificates of: Argentina:Atp Australia:PG (cable rating) Australia:G (video rating) Netherlands:AL (DVD rating) Singapore:PG UK:U (video rating) USA:TV-G (some episodes) USA:TV-PG (some episodes)
If voltage and current are proportional why do they increase voltage in powerlines in order to decrease current?
Low current will equal low power losses due to the resistance of the cable. I squared R. (I is transmission current and R is resistance/Metre of cable) by increasing the voltage for the same amount of power the current decreases. Power transmission will take that advantage to transfer less current for the same amount of power.
Why Cable gets heated when current flows more than its rated current why?
Because if the rated current is lower than the actual current, it causes resistance to the electrical flow which in turn is dispelled as heat.

70mm 4core copper cable
How do you cut an armoured cable?
The use of armoured cable is determined by the application that needs an electrical source of voltage. It is a metal sheath cable classification. Armoured cable is used in applications that need mechanical protection usually below a certain elevation. Armoured cable is also usually used on surface wiring. If you have access to an electrical code book there is a whole section on armoured cable. In the CEC the section about armoured cable starts at 12-600 to 12-618.
What is the current capacity of 16mm square x 4 core Armoured cable?
what is the current capacity 3 core 16sq mm swa
How long for a cable to heat up at maximum current rating?
It depends on the surround material, temperature, type of cable, and what you mean by "maximum current rating". Typically a maximum load current rating will be specified, such as 15A; this means you can push 15A through that cable nonstop without damaging it (it won't overheat). You might have a short time rating as well, such as a 4 hour rating, where the cable can handle runing 22A for 4 hours if the surrounding temperature is kept to some value, though this may slightly degrade the insulation. There's also a fusing current rating for many cables. At this current, the cable will eventually melt (like a fuse).
What is current rating of 1.0 1.5 2.5 and 4mm2 cable?
4mm2
Define 2XFY in electric cable?

What is the meaning of YRY cable?
Yry means copper round armoured cable
What are the advantage of using copper wire armoured cable?
The advantage of using armoured cable over rigid conduit systems is the flexibility of the cable. There are some situations where conduit can not be bent into the shade needed to make a proper connection to a device. Because of the flexibility if the armoured cable it can be used instead to make a presentable looking job.
What is the current carrying capacity of 32 sq mm copper cable?
It depends on the the number of cores, type of insulation, whether armoured or unarmoured, and method of installation. So, there is no simple answer. You must determine the current-carrying capacity from the Tables provided in BS 7671:2008 Requirements for Electrical Installations, or the equivalent used in your country.
What is SWB armoured cable?
SWB - Steel Wire Braid
Which method of installing cables ensures the highest current rating for each cable size?
Cables spaced apart on cable ladder, shaded from sun
