The above ratings are based on cable in Free air, in an ambient air temperature of 30°C.
For ambient air temperatures other than 30°C the following rating factors should be applied:
Ratings for cables up to and including 4mm2 are based on 60°C conductor operating temperature with 6mm2 and above based on 70°C operating temperature.
