Condition<\/h2>\n<p>A cable\u2019s ampacity is the current it can carry continuously without exceeding the permitted conductor temperature under stated conditions of use. The phrase \u201cunder stated conditions\u201d is the part that prevents a chart value from becoming a universal rating.<\/p>\n<p>If the cable family or its markings are unfamiliar, begin with the companion guide explaining <a href=\"https:\/\/tebaoflex-cable.com\/what-is-dlo-cable\/\">what DLO cable is, how it is constructed and where it is used<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>A single conductor separated in free air can release heat more effectively than the same conductor enclosed with others in a raceway. A 90\u00b0C insulation system can be used for correction and adjustment calculations where the governing rules permit, while the connected equipment may still limit final loading to a 75\u00b0C or 60\u00b0C terminal basis. Higher insulation temperature does not automatically raise the temperature permitted at a lug.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"tf-guide-note\">\n      <strong>Do not select a DLO size from the largest number in a row.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Identify the cable marking, wiring method, terminal temperature and derating requirements first.

If the project needs a non-standard kcmil size, request an approved data sheet and calculation rather than interpolating without engineering review.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"dlo-ampacity-conditions\">\n<h2>Why DLO Ampacity Charts Show Different Numbers<\/h2>\n<p class=\"tf-guide-humor\"><em>Free air is a thermal condition, not simply &#8220;somewhere outdoors&#8221;.<\/em><\/p>\n<h3>Free Air Versus Raceway<\/h3>\n<p>\u201cFree air\u201d is not a synonym for any cable located outdoors or above ground. It describes an installation condition in which heat can dissipate around a conductor under the spacing and arrangement assumed by the applicable table or engineering method. A group of conductors touching in a tray, tied into a dense bundle or enclosed behind equipment may not behave like separated free-air conductors.<\/p>\n<p>Raceway, cable and earth columns assume less favourable heat dissipation. That is why the same 4\/0 copper DLO row can show 405 A at a 90\u00b0C free-air basis and 260 A at a 90\u00b0C raceway basis before other limitations are applied.<\/p>\n<h3>75\u00b0C Versus 90\u00b0C Columns<\/h3>\n<p>The TEBAOFLEX DLO insulation system is rated for 90\u00b0C wet or dry. That insulation rating establishes a thermal capability and may provide a basis for correction and adjustment where permitted. It does not mean every termination can operate at 90\u00b0C. Equipment terminals, connectors and devices often establish a lower permitted conductor-temperature basis.<\/p>\n<p>The practical design check is therefore two-part: first use the permitted conductor temperature for correction and adjustment; then confirm that the corrected result does not exceed the ampacity allowed by the termination and equipment rules. The project engineer should document both steps.<\/p>\n<h3>Ambient Temperature<\/h3>\n<p>The table uses a 30\u00b0C ambient reference. Higher surrounding temperature leaves less thermal headroom between the environment and the maximum conductor temperature, so a correction factor may reduce allowable current. Lower ambient temperature does not automatically justify increasing the load unless the governing table and installation rules explicitly permit it.<\/p>\n<h3>Number of Current-Carrying Conductors<\/h3>\n<p>Multiple loaded conductors in a raceway or cable bundle heat one another. Adjustment factors can therefore apply when the number of current-carrying conductors exceeds the table\u2019s base condition. Neutral and grounding conductors are not classified by guesswork; their treatment depends on circuit function and the governing rules.<\/p>\n<h3>Conductor Spacing and Cable Tray Arrangement<\/h3>\n<p>Cable tray can provide useful ventilation, but tray installation is not automatically free air. The number of conductors, spacing, tray type, cable diameter and applicable cable marking affect both installation permission and thermal performance. In the current TEBAOFLEX range, CT-use and FT4\/IEEE 1202 scope start at 1\/0 AWG; verify the actual sheath marking. <a href=\"https:\/\/standards.ieee.org\/ieee\/1202\/11003\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">IEEE 1202 addresses flame-propagation testing<\/a>, not ampacity calculation.<\/p>\n<h3>Terminal and Connector Temperature<\/h3>\n<p>A connector can become the controlling point because it adds contact resistance and may have a lower temperature rating than the insulation. DLO\u2019s high strand count also means the lug must be identified for fine-stranded conductors. A connector that is the right nominal AWG but wrong strand range can invalidate an otherwise careful ampacity selection.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"dlo-vs-welding\">\n<h2>DLO Cable vs Welding Cable: Do Not Mix the Ampacity Charts<\/h2>\n<p>DLO and welding cable can both use fine-stranded copper, but their ampacity data is not automatically interchangeable. Compare the complete product marking, insulation and jacket, voltage rating, temperature rating, conductor class, listing and installation rule before carrying a value from one chart to another.<\/p>\n<div class=\"table-responsive\">\n<table aria-label=\"DLO cable and welding cable ampacity checks\">\n<caption>Checks to complete before comparing DLO and welding cable<\/caption>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th scope=\"col\">Check<\/th>\n<th scope=\"col\">What to verify<\/th>\n<th scope=\"col\">Why it matters<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<th scope=\"row\">Product marking<\/th>\n<td>DLO\/HDFPC, RHH\/RHW-2, RW90, voltage, temperature and any CT-use or mining marks.<\/td>\n<td>A product name alone does not prove a listing or installation permission.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th scope=\"row\">Construction<\/th>\n<td>Conductor stranding, insulation, jacket, outside diameter and wet\/dry rating.<\/td>\n<td>Heat dissipation and terminal compatibility depend on the actual construction.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th scope=\"row\">Installation basis<\/th>\n<td>Free air, raceway, cable tray, equipment enclosure, portable lead or a tested assembly.<\/td>\n<td>The same conductor size can have different allowable current in different heat paths.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th scope=\"row\">Evidence<\/th>\n<td>Manufacturer datasheet, adopted code table, thermal analysis and authority requirements.<\/td>\n<td>Use the evidence for the exact cable and route; do not transfer another brand&#8217;s value.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<p>Some DLO constructions are dual-listed for applications such as RHH\/RHW-2 or RW90, while other products are not.

The chart offers four base references:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>360 A at a 75\u00b0C free-air basis;<\/li>\n<li>405 A at a 90\u00b0C free-air basis;<\/li>\n<li>230 A at a 75\u00b0C raceway basis; and<\/li>\n<li>260 A at a 90\u00b0C raceway basis.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If the conductor is installed with others in a raceway and the equipment terminals control at 75\u00b0C, choosing 405 A because the insulation is marked 90\u00b0C would use the wrong installation column and ignore the terminal basis. The 230 A raceway\/75\u00b0C value is the relevant base reference before ambient, grouping, load and overcurrent rules are checked.<\/p>\n<p>If the same size is part of an engineered, spaced free-air arrangement with equipment identified for the required temperature, a different base value may apply. The copper did not change; the heat path and equipment conditions did.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"tf-guide-note\">\n      <strong>This example is educational, not a final design.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The adopted code edition, equipment listing, circuit type and authority decision govern the installation.<\/p>\n<\/aside>\n<\/section>\n<section>\n<h2>Non-Standard kcmil Sizes Need Extra Care<\/h2>\n<p>DLO catalogues commonly include intermediate sizes such as 262.6, 313.3, 373.7, 444.4, 535.3, 646.4 and 777.7 kcmil. These can fit equipment originally designed around locomotive or industrial conductor sizes, but they may not appear as standard rows in every installation-code table.<\/p>\n<p>Do not round the size name to the nearest familiar conductor and assume identical resistance or ampacity. Obtain the manufacturer\u2019s conductor resistance, strand count, outside diameter and thermal data, then confirm the accepted interpolation or engineering method. ASTM has an active <a href=\"https:\/\/store.astm.org\/workitem-wk91407\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">work item addressing DLO-sized conductor coverage and DC-resistance discrepancies in B172<\/a>, which is another reason to specify the exact standard edition and approved product data.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section>\n<h2>Parallel DLO Conductors, Voltage Drop and Fault Duty<\/h2>\n<p>High-current UPS, battery, data-centre, generator and industrial systems may use several DLO conductors in parallel. Parallel paths must be designed so conductors share current predictably. Size, material, length, termination, routing and electrical characteristics should be coordinated; a neat-looking group of flexible cables is not proof of equal current sharing.<\/p>\n<p>Ampacity is only one sizing test. Long runs can require a larger conductor to control voltage drop. Available fault current and protective-device clearing time can create a short-circuit thermal requirement. Large DLO conductors also impose substantial pulling weight and bending forces on cable tray, supports and terminals.<\/p>\n<p>For a quotation, provide the one-way route length, circuit voltage, load profile, number of parallel conductors per phase or pole, installation arrangement, ambient temperature, terminal details and required short-circuit data. TEBAOFLEX can then issue a size-specific data sheet rather than treating a generic chart as the project calculation.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"dlo-ampacity-mistakes\">\n<h2>Common DLO Ampacity Mistakes<\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Quoting a free-air value without stating conductor spacing.<\/strong> \u201cOpen tray\u201d may still be a grouped installation.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Using the 90\u00b0C column as the final equipment load.<\/strong> Terminal and device temperature can control.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Skipping ambient correction.<\/strong> Engine rooms, equipment enclosures, rooftops and industrial plants may exceed the table reference temperature.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Ignoring other current-carrying conductors.<\/strong> A dense raceway or bundle changes heat dissipation.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Assuming cable-tray marking sets ampacity.<\/strong> CT use addresses installation qualification; it does not choose the thermal column by itself.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Using a standard-strand lug.<\/strong> Fine DLO strands need a connector and tooling identified for the strand class.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Forgetting overcurrent and circuit-specific rules.<\/strong> Small conductors, continuous loads, motors and other circuits may have additional limitations.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Ignoring voltage drop or short-circuit duty.<\/strong> A conductor can pass an ampacity check and still be unsuitable for the system.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/section>\n<section>\n<h2>Information Needed for an Ampacity Review<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Cable type, complete sheath marking and requested conductor size.<\/li>\n<li>Circuit voltage, AC or DC system and continuous\/non-continuous load profile.<\/li>\n<li>Free-air spacing, raceway size, tray arrangement or equipment enclosure details.<\/li>\n<li>Number of current-carrying conductors and parallel conductors.<\/li>\n<li>Maximum ambient temperature and nearby heat sources.<\/li>\n<li>Terminal, lug and equipment temperature ratings.<\/li>\n<li>Run length, acceptable voltage drop and available fault current.<\/li>\n<li>Adopted code edition, authority requirements and project approval documents.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"dlo-ampacity-faq\">\n<h2>DLO Cable Ampacity FAQ<\/h2>\n<h3>How do I choose a DLO cable size from this chart?<\/h3>\n<p>Start with continuous load and installation method, select the applicable temperature column, apply ambient and conductor-grouping corrections, then check terminal temperature, overcurrent protection, voltage drop and fault duty.

The 90\u00b0C column may be used for correction or adjustment where permitted, but the corrected result must also comply with terminal, equipment, overcurrent and circuit-specific limitations.<\/p>\n<h3>Does cable tray count as free air?<\/h3>\n<p>Not by default. Tray type, conductor spacing, number of conductors, cable diameter, installation rule and product marking all matter. Treating every tray route as free air can significantly overstate allowable current.<\/p>\n<h3>Why can two DLO charts disagree?<\/h3>\n<p>They may use different conductor temperatures, ambient temperatures, installation methods, spacing, code editions or interpolation rules. Compare the table notes before comparing the numbers.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section>\n<h2>Use the Chart as a Starting Point, Not the Final Answer<\/h2>\n<p>DLO cable ampacity is a thermal result tied to a specific route and equipment system. Start with the correct table, apply ambient and grouping rules, respect the terminal temperature and then check overcurrent protection, voltage drop and fault duty.
