Maximum current of an operating wire  
 
   
This application allows you to work out the maximum acceptable intensity inside a wire with copper conductor. You just have to enter the area of the single wire, the ambient temperature, the insulating material, the configuration of the cable and the programme makes the calculation of the maximum current for you !

Initial data (single wire)
1 - SPECIFY  Area (mm²) (0.055 - 120 mm²)
    OR    Gauges AWG  
 
2 - SPECIFY  Ambient temperatue (°C)   (20 - 150 °C)
 
3 - CHOOSE  Insulating material
In a cable (minimum 2 wires)
4 - SELECT
Flat assembly
Bundle (open air)   Number of elements in the bundle
Bundle (confined air)     Number of elements in the bundle
Single wire
5 -    Help
