The document provides a current rating table for PVC insulated wires as per IS 694:2010. The table lists nominal wire cross-sectional areas from 0.5 mm2 to 300 mm2 and their corresponding current ratings in amps at an ambient temperature of 40°C. It notes that the ratings are based on the maximum conductor temperature being 70°C. Several derating factors are also provided that must be applied based on ambient temperature variations and the number of circuits installed.

Important Note: The current rating shown in the table by considering maximum possible conductor temperature and ambient conditions for facilitating the heat dissipation. The current rating values depend on various conditions like type of circuits(1-phase/3-phase), method of laying, ambient temperature, grouping of cables which have to be considered before cable selection and installation process.
The current rating values given in the table are based on following parameters: 1. Maximum conductor Temperature : 70°C 2. Ambient Temperature in air : 40°C 3. Thermal Resistivity of PVC : 650°C cm/W
The current rating given in the above table is based on above considerations but in actual practice the conditions may be different. First determine the current rating on the bunching factor to form circuits 1-phase/3-phase. Then determine the current rating at different condition. The following derating factors are to be multiplied with values given in the above table.
The derating factors are as follows:
Rating factors for variation in ambient air temperature (with excess current protection) Ambient Temp °C 25 30 35 40 45 50 55 60 Rating Factors 1.2 1.15 1.08 1 0.91 0.82 0.70 0.57
If the number of circuits exceed 4, they are installed in a horozantal plane. In all other cases, unless a more precise evaluation of current rating has been made based on experimental work or calculated data the following factors are applicable:(In case of single core cables, not applicable to 3-phase).
The derating factors are as follows:
Rating factors on number of circuits No. of circuits 2 3 4 5 6 8 10 12 Single core 0.8 0.69 0.62 0.59 0.55 0.51 0.48 0.43
