Current Ratings
Typical guidance values for different welding processes are as follows:
| Fully automatic Welding: | 100% |
| Semi-automatic Welding: | 65% - 85% |
| Manual Welding: | 30% - 60% |
| Very infrequent or Occasional Welding: | 20% |
Correction Factors
Cable operating temperature also varies according to the prevailing ambient temperature. These cables are designed to give optimum performance up to an operating temperature of 85°C at an ambient temperature of 25°C. The reduction factors for increased ambient temperature are:
| Ambient Temperature: | 30°C | 35°C | 40°C | 45°C | 50°C | 55°C |
| Correction Factor: | 0.96 | 0.91 | 0.87 | 0.82 | 0.76 | 0.79 |
Flexible aluminium conductors are available upon request.
