Metallnotierungen vom 13.04.2021: Current-carrying capacity PVC-insulated LV cables
according to HD 603 S1, part 3G and HD 627 S1, part 4H
General
This section applies to the current-carrying capacity under both standard and deviating provisions provided that the
cables are in three-phase operation with three conductors loaded or one single-core cable in d.c.-operation.
The rated current-carrying capacity are valid under standard provisions.
Basic provisions
| Temperatures °C | |
|---|---|
| Maximum permissible operating temperature | +70 |
| Maximum short-circuit temperature for cross sections area ≤300 mm² for cross sections area >300 mm² |
+160 +140 |
Concentric conductors bonded at both ends.
Power frequency 50 Hz.
The tabulated rated current-carrying capacities are based on standard provisions such as:
– operating mode
– laying conditions
– environmental conditions
For deviating operating conditions the current-carrying capacities in the tables are to be multiplied by appropriate conversion factors which shall be based on the same calculation method and operating conditions as used for the current-carrying capacity given in this clause.
