How measure capacity of conductor |
|
Answer» carrying capacity is defined as the AMPERAGE a conductor can carry before melting either the conductor or the insulation. Heat, caused by an electrical current flowing through a conductor, will determine the amount of current a wire will handle. THEORETICALLY, the amount of current that can be passed through a single bare copper conductor wire can be INCREASED until the heat generated reaches the melting temperature of copper. There are many factors which will LIMIT the amount of current that can be passed through a wire. |
