OPEN AND CLIPPED DIRECT:
Sheathed cables clipped direct to or lying on
a non- metallic surface

CABLES EMBEDDED DIRECT IN BUILDING MATERIALS:
Sheathed cables embedded directly in
masonry, brickwork, concrete, plaster or the
like (other than thermally insulating
materials)
Method 1
IN CONDUIT:
Single core non- sheathed cables in metallic
or non- metallic conduit on a wall or ceiling
Method 3
Single core non- sheathed cables in
metallic or non- metallic conduit in a
thermally insulating ceiling, the conduit
being in contact with a thermally conductive
surface on one side
Method 4
Multi core cables having non- metallic
sheath, in metallic or non- metallic conduit
on a wall or ceiling
Method 3
The wall is assumed to consist of an outer weatherproof skin, thermal insulation and an inner skin of plasterboard of wood- like material
having a coefficient of heat transfer not less than 10 W/m2K. The conduit is fixed so as to be close to, but not necessarily touching, the
inner skin. Heat from the cables is assumed ti escape through the inner skin only.

Space means a clearance between adjacent surfaces of at least one cable diameter (De). Where the horizontal clearance between adjacent cables exceeds 2 De, no
correction factor need be applied.
Notes: 1) The factors in the table are applicable to groups of cables all of one size. The value of current derived from application of the appropriate factors is the
maximum continuous current to be carried by any of the cables in the group.
2) If, due to known operating conditions, a cable is expected to carry not more than 30% of it’s grouped rating, it may be ignored for the purposed of obtaining the rating factor for the rest of the group.
For example, a group of N loaded cables would normally require a group reduction factor of Cg applied to the tabulated It. However, if M cables in the
group carry loads which are not greater than 0.3Cglt amperes, the other cables can be sized by using the group rating factor corresponding to (N-M) cables.
3) Factors are given for single layer of cables and do not apply when cables are installed in more than one layer touching each other.
4) For circuits having more than one cable in parallel per phase, each set of three conductors should be considered as a circuit for the purpose of this table.

Another important factor for the determination of the conductor size is the maximum
allowable current during a short circuit when the maximum allowable current during a short circuit when the maximum allowable conductor temperature is higher than
during normal operation.
The maximum permissible short circuit current of XLPE cables up to 1Kv with copper conductors can be calculated with the formula:

Note: * British standard
*127 mm2 and larger is rounded off and not actual. CM area is actual Conversion factors: mm2 x 1973.5 = CM x 0.0005067 = mm2.
AWG - America Wire Gauge. A standard measurement of the size of a conductor: 4/0 & smaller.
CM (Circular Mil) used to define cross-sectional areas of conductors. Area of circle 171000 inches in diameter. MCM – 1000 circular mils.
