What is the current carrying capacity of a 1000 sq. mm. 3&1/2 core alluminium cable laid in air [in case of single run, in case of double run...]??
Carrying Capacity of 1000 SQ. MM 3&1/2 Core Aluminium Cable
Click For Summary
SUMMARY
The current carrying capacity of a 1000 sq. mm 3&1/2 core aluminum cable varies based on installation conditions. For a single run laid in air, the capacity is approximately 800 Amperes, while for a double run, it can reach up to 1600 Amperes. These values are critical for ensuring safe and efficient electrical installations. Referencing standards such as the National Electrical Code (NEC) and manufacturer specifications is essential for precise calculations.
PREREQUISITES- Understanding of electrical engineering principles
