Introduction IEC 60364 (Low-voltage electrical installations) is the international standard for electrical design, particularly concerning safety, selection, and erection of wiring systems. A common design question is: How much current can a 1.5 mm² copper conductor safely carry? For XLPE (90°C conductor): | Ambient temp |
