Three Conductor in Air: Ampacity Tables

This document provides ampacity tables for three conductor cables in air. It specifies ampacity ratings for copper and aluminum conductors of different American Wire Gauge (AWG) and kcmil sizes operating at voltages between 600-5000V and 2001-35,000V. The ampacities are given for cables in still air at ambient temperatures of 40°C and 90°C for non-shielded cables and 90°C and 105°C for shielded cables. It notes the ratings apply to a single loaded cable and corrections may be needed for bundled cables.

The ampacities are for a single loaded cable


in still air. In a group of loaded cables in close
proximity in air, exposed or enclosed, follow
the correction method shown on the ampacity
correction factors page.
