MAXIMIZING CABLE AMPACITY
Abstract: This presentation will provide details on why heat is the real issue in determining ampacity for insulated cables. Attendees will gain an understanding on how thermal rho, load factor, the type of shield grounding and other installation factors affect ampacity. The obvious conclusion is that there is no single ampacity for a specific insulated cable design unless all external factors are considered.
Presenter: David Wisniewski, District Manager, The Okonite Company
