Figure. 5.4.21. - 99. Initial data of the cable temperature characteristics and current ratings with different installations and copper
or aluminium conductors.
Based on the given data can be seen the currents which in given installation and construction methods
will achieve the given temperature in given standard conditions.
Cable current and where it is installed are the most important parameters for setting the thermal image
to work properly. In addition to this current carrying capacity table also manufacturer should provide
additional data for ne tune the thermal image. In addition to the ampere-temperature values equally
important information is the continuous current capacity presumptions (e.g. in which conditions the
given values apply). In following gure the presumptions are given for example to Prysmian cables.
