You calculate the load and then look up the proper size cable in the code book to match. You also must go by the local code rules if there is one.

Good day all,

It seems as if people are too lazy to look further in the forum - how many times is this question going to be asked?

Go to Aberdare cables and download the cable facts & figures book. Read the booklet and if you cannot size a cable after that - you are waisting your time.

Be carefull though as those laws apply to South Africa and might vary in your country! But the principle stays the same - the tolerances vary.

Regards,

Craig

Don't size cables - Its not your job.
