About allowable current
The allowable current value is the calculated value when the ambient temperature is 30°C and a single cable is laid in the air. It is not a guaranteed value.
For ambient temperatures above 30℃, multiply the values in the table by the following current reduction factors:
The allowable current value is a value calculated according to JCS0168 and is not a guaranteed value.
JCS0168: The Japanese Electric Wire & Cable Makers' Association standard "Calculation of allowable current for power cable of 33 kV or less"
