Allowable current value

The allowable current (reference value) is when a maximum of three cores are loaded simultaneously at an ambient temperature (in the air) of 30°C, and when the cable is laid on the ground or earthed. For conditions with different temperatures and core number, multiply by the conversion factors in the ambient temperature correction factor table and the number of core number correction factor table (see DIN VDE 0298-4).
