All tables give ampacity (current carrying capacity) values at normal operating temperatures under four sets of weather conditions. The 75degC operating temperature is only exceeded in the case of mutiplex cables where the conductors are not under tension. The basic conditions on which all the ampacity tables have been calculated are: 2. Thermal resistivity, 375degC.cmlwatt for both polyethylene and cross-linked polyethylene.
