NOTES: 1. The current ratings tabulated are for cables in free air but may also be used for cables resting on a surface. If the cable is to be wound on a drum on load the ratings should be reduced in accordance with NOTE 2 below and for cables which may be covered, NOTE 3 below 2. Flexible cables wound on reeling drums. The current ratings of cables used on reeling drums are to be reduced by the following factors: a) Radial type drum ventilated: 85% unventilated: 75% b) Ventilated cylindrical type drum 1 layer of cable: 85% 2 layers of cable: 65% 3 layers of cable: 45% 4 layers of cable: 35% A radial type drum is one where spiral layers of cable are accommodated between closely spaced flanges; if fitted with solid flanges the ratings given above should be reduced and the drum is described as non-ventilated. If the flanges have suitable apertures the drum is described as ventilated. A ventilated cylindrical cable drum is one where layers of cable are accommodated between widely spaced flanges and the drum and end flanges have suitable ventilating apertures. 3. Where cable may be covered over or coiled up whilst on load, or the air movement over the cable restricted, the current rating should be reduced. It is not possible to specify the amount of reduction but the table of rating factors for reeling drums can be used as a guide.

NOTES (Continued): 4. For 180ºC cables, the rating factors for ambient temperature allow a conductor operating temperature up to 150ºC. Consult the cable manufacturer for further information. 5. The temperature limits given in Table 52.1 should be taken into account when it is intended to operate these cables at maximum permissible temperature.

4F3A NOTES: 1. The voltage drop figures given above are based on a conductor operating temperature of 90ºC and are therefore not accurate when the operating temp is in excess of 90ºC. In the case of the 180ºC cables with a conductor temperature of 150ºC the above resistive values should be increased by a factor of 1.2 2. * A larger voltage drop will result if the cables are spaced
