10.1. Cables
Main’s power must be supplied by means of a fuse or a switch with
a corresponding rating. To make the following connections, use PVC
insulated three-core, four-core or multi-core cables with copper
conductors laid in accordance with the established conditions. The
dimensions of the cables should be selected for 100% of the rated
currents of the consumers. This table is a simple reference for
correct cable sizing.
CURRENT
The flow rates shown in the above table have been defined at a
conventional ambient temperature of 30°C (it is assumed that the
temperature may occasionally reach 35°C). If the ambient
temperature is lower than the conventional temperature, the flow
rate increases, but if the temperature increases, the flow rate
decreases. The following table shows these room temperature
correction coefficients.
