The current capacity of a cable varies depending on the type of conductor material, and the type and rating of the insulation. An excellent table that shows the capacity of different types of cables can be found here:

Also, the current capacity of a cable will be limited by the electrical code that one is using, this varies in each developed country. Most American companies use NEC (National Electric Code) as there source for electrical codes (the most recent version being NEC2008), and much of the rest of the world will use ICC EC (International Code Council Electric Code).

What is the current rating of 25mm 4-core armoured cable?

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 ampacity of 25mm cable at 250 volts?

The amperage rating is dependent upon the insulation rating. A pair of 25mm squared wires touching each other are rated at 131 amps. Three 25mm squared wires touching each other are rated at 110 amps.


Will 16mm twin dc cable fit into 25mm conduit?

If 16mm is the overall diameter of the cable, yes - If that's the diameter of one core, then no.


What size cable is needed to supply 415v 250 amp three phase fuseboard?

A 250 MCM copper conductor with a insulation factor of 75 or 90 degrees C is rated at 255 and 265 amps respectively. This conductor can only be load to 80% capacity which allows a working current of 204 and 212 amps respectively. To obtain the full capacity of 250 amps a 350 MCM conductor will be needed. The amp rating for a 350 MCM conductor with an insulation factor of 90 degrees C is 325 amps. 325 x .8 = 260 amps.

Can you used a 10mm cable for a 50 a breaker?

Using a 10mm cable for a 50 A breaker is generally not recommended, as it may not be sufficient to safely handle the current. The appropriate cable size depends on various factors, including the length of the run and the installation conditions. Typically, a larger cable, such as 16mm² or 25mm², is recommended for a 50 A breaker to ensure safety and minimize voltage drop. Always consult local electrical codes and a qualified electrician for specific applications.


If you have dimensions of 25mm x 12mm x 90m how many squared meters do you have?

You have specified three dimensions. A rectangular area will have a length and a width. If your length is 90m, is the width 25mm or 12mm? I can't make sense of this as it is.

What is meant by the capacity of a drill press?

Drilling capacity indicates the maximum diameter a given power drill or drill press can produce in a certain material. Typically a given drill will have its capacity specified for different materials, i.e., 10mm for steel, 25mm for wood, etc.
