Code of Practice for the Electricity (Wiring) Regulations - 2009 Edition

TABLE A6(2)
Multicore PVC insulated cables, non-armoured
(COPPER CONDUCTORS)
BS 6004 Ambient temperature: 30°C
CURRENT CARRYING CAPACITY (Amperes): BS 6346 Conductor operating temperature: 70°C
BS 7629
260
NOTE: 1. Where the conductor is to be protected by a semi-enclosed fuse to BS 3036, see Appendix 5(4).
*2. With or without protective conductor.
3. Circular conductors are assumed for sizes up to and including 16 mm2 . Values for larger sizes relate to shaped conductors and may safely be applied to
circular conductors.
4. Cables to BS 7629 are rated for a conductor operating temperature of 70°C and are therefore included in this table, although the material used for the
cable insulation is not PVC.
