The above ratings are based on cable in Free air, in an ambient air temperature of 30ˇăC.
For ambient air temperatures other than 30ˇăC the following rating factors should be applied:
Ratings for cables up to and including 4mm2 are based on 60ˇăC conductor operating temperature with 6mm2 and above based on 70ˇăC operating temperature.
