Notes to Table 6

(1) The nomenclature of cable insulation types used in 4-8-3/Table 6 is as follows:

Insulation tvqe designation Insulation materials Maximum conductor

temoerature, "CrEC 60092-353 rEC 60092-3PVC/A v60 Polwinyl chloride - general purpose 60

v75 Polvvinvl chloride - heat resisting'15

XLPE R85 Cross-linked polyethYlene 85

EPR E85 Ethvlene propYlene rubber 85

M95 Mineral (MI) 95

s95 s95 Silicone rubber 95

(2) The maximum current values given in 4-8-3lTable6 have been derived from IEC Publication 60092-353 and are based on ambient

temperature of 45.c and on the asiumption that when a group of four cables bunched together and laid in free air, the conductors will

attain and operate contmuously at a temperature equal to the maximum rated temperature of the insulation'

(3) The maximum current values given in 4-8-3lTable 6 (and those derived therefrom) may be used, without correction factors, for

ca'bles installed double-banked in cable conduits or cable pipes, except as noted in Note (4)'

(4) Where more than six cables expected to be operated simultaneously are laid together in a bunch in such a way that there is an

absence offree air circulation around them, a correction factor of0.85 is to be applied to the values given in 4-8-3lTable 6' Special

consideration is necessary ifthe number ofcables installed in this manner exceeds twelve'

(5) The maxlmum cuffent values given in 4-8-3lTable 6 are applicable to both armored and unarmored cables'
