The document provides guidelines for derating cables based on temperature, specifically for copper wire with Teflon insulation. It includes formulas for calculating ampacity derating depending on the number of wires bundled together and specific temperature thresholds. Additionally, it references various standards and tables for further information on cable ampacity and derating practices.

De-Rate Cables by Temperature.
Refer to this page for a manufacturers listing of Wire and Cable.
Cable manufacturers will provide different numbers based on the
insulation used for the wire. The (TFE] table below lists copper
wire with a Teflon [TF] insulation. Teflon insulation has a higher
operation temperature range then other insulators, for example
PVC. The [TFE] table below is based on data derived from MIL-
STD-97 5, using 7 0°Cas the operating temperature. To derate
based on number of wires in a bundle:
Ipw =Isw X @9- # wire) / 28 @ [1 to 15 Bundled wires]
Ipw = Isw x (0.5) @ [more then 15 Bundled wires]
gw = Single wire
Ipw = Bundled wires
‘To derate by temperature use;
Derate by 80% at 150°C, 70% at 135°C, or 50% at 105°C {Per
MIL-STD-975}
‘To derate for Commercial wire use the table below;

The table below provides derating guidelines for 200°C rated
Teflon (type PTFE) wire. The data shows both single wire and
multi-conductor wire at 70°C in a vacuum (no air flow). Ifthe
wire is rated to 150°C derate the values in the table by 80%, 70%
for 135C wire, and 115% for 260°C.
