12 swg current carrying capacity
What is current carrying capacity of 50x8 mm copper flatbusbar.
It can carry upto 100 Ampere.
Current carrying capacity is different for aluminum from that of copper cable. Under different conditions like, type of insulation, number of conductors, in conduit, underground, in air, single or multilayer, system voltage, the current carrying capacity varies a bit. Hence You must refer a standard chart from a reputed cable company.
You don't calculate the current-carrying capacity, you find out from the appropriate Tables in your country's wiring regulations. In the UK, this is BS 7671:2008 Requirements for Electrical Installation.The reason you must do this is that the current-carrying capacity of a cable depends on the conductor type, number of cores, the type of insulation, the method of installation, etc. Allthese factors are taken into account in these Tables.For a 2.5-mm2 copper cable, the current-carrying capacity can vary from around 22 A to around 36 A, depending on the factors described above.
To obtain the amp of the copper bus bar, multiply the width of the bus bar by the thickness of the bus bar to obtain the current carrying capacity of the bus bar.
What is current carrying capacity of 50x8 mm copper flatbusbar.
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.
170A
570amps on 3phase 415volts
30 amps
in air it will be 665Amps.
475 amps, per NEC 310-16. Note that this is a maximum; there are many reasons to derate the current carrying capacity of the wire.
It can carry upto 100 Ampere.
25 amps, 6000 watts
300ams
1 sq..mm have max. capacity is 10 ampere if these are of copper approximately than 120 sq..mm having current carrying capacity is 1200 ampere
The larger in diameter the wire is, the larger the current carrying capacity the wire has.
