STEP-5: SELECT THE APPROPRIATE DERATING FACTORS AND
CALCULATE DE-RATED CURRENT Iz

1. Ambient Air temperature rating factor Ca (4B1)

2. Group rating factor Cg (Grouping factor for three


phase and single phase circuits in a common
enclosure)(If two cable per phase then multiply
2xCg, for three cable 3xCg) (4C1 to 4C6)

3. Thermal Insulation rating factor Ci (Specifically for


installed inside insulated wall or above ceiling)
(Table 52.2, page-129)

4. Overcurrent device rating factor Cf (if overcurrent


protection is semi-enclosed fuse, the Cf=0.725; no
overload and other type of protection then Cf=1)

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 b) Ventilated cylindrical type drum ventilated: 85% 1 layer of cable: 85% unventilated: 75% 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.

4. For 180°C cables, the rating factors for ambient temperature allow a conductor
operating temperature up to 150°C. Consult the cable manufacturer for further
information.
5. Where it is intended to connect the cables in this table to equipment or accessories
designed to operate at a temperature lower than the maximum operating temperature
of the cable, the cables should be rated at the maximum operating temperature of the
equipment or accessory (see Regulations 512.1.5).
6. Where it is intended to group a cable in this table with other cables, the cable should
be rated at the lowest of the maximum operating temperatures of any of the cables in
the group (see Regulations 512.1.5).

1. The voltage drop figures given above are based on a conductor operating temperature of 90°C and are therefore
not accurate when the operating temperature is in excess of 90°C. In the case of the 180°C cables with a conductor
temperature of 150°C the above resistive values should be increased by a factor of 1.2.
