Ampacity Charts for Conductors

This document provides ampacity tables for single conductor cables in air. It lists the ampacity ratings in amps for both copper and aluminum conductors of various American Wire Gauge (AWG) sizes and kcmil operating at voltages between 600-35,000 volts. The ampacities are given for both non-shielded and shielded cables in still air at temperatures of 90°C and 105°C. It notes the ratings apply to a single cable and that correction factors must be applied for cables installed in close proximity.

Ampacity Tables

Single Conductor In Air

Single conductor cable


in air
Open circuited shield operation, i.e. shields
bonded and grounded at one point only.

Any load factor from 30 to 100%. 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.
