Ampacity Calculation 2013

The document provides parameters and calculations for determining the ampacity of an electrical cable. It lists parameters such as ambient temperature, conductor resistance, dielectric properties, cable dimensions, and thermal resistances. The calculations determine the AC current resistance, dielectric loss, sheath loss, thermal resistances, and ultimately the ampacity rating of the cable based on these parameters.
