How can I work out the cable volume<br />

Cable diameter and space required; 1 = diameter in mm, 2 = space required in cm²<br />

An important criterion for the selection<br />

of the right <strong>trunking</strong> size of<br />

the underfloor <strong>system</strong> is the cable<br />

volume. As the cables are never<br />

packed tightly together or are absolutely<br />

parallel, it is not enough to<br />

base the volume calculation solely<br />

on the cable diameter. A realistic<br />

calculation is provided by the formula<br />

(2r)². To simplify your work,<br />

we have listed the diameters and<br />

space requirements of the most<br />

important cable types on this double<br />

page. Important: the values are<br />

average values, which may vary<br />

between manufacturers. Please refer<br />

to the manufacturer's specifications<br />

for the exact values.<br />

The right choice<br />

The table on this page will help<br />

you to select the correct <strong>trunking</strong><br />

size. Besides the usable crosssection<br />

of the appropriate <strong>trunking</strong>,<br />

please observe the current<br />

DIN/VDE standards for the fill factor<br />

and the approved cable heating.<br />

Calculation using the formula<br />

(2r)²<br />

The diameter says little about the<br />

actual space required by a cable.<br />

Calculate: (2r)². This value reflects<br />

the realistic space requirements,<br />

including the compartments.<br />
