H07RN-F AD8 EN 50525-2-21 Flexible Rubber Cable

Ambient temperature: 30ºC Conductor operating temperature: 60ºC / 85ºC The above table for 60ºC conductor operating temperature is in accordance with Table 4F1A of the 18th Edition of IEE Wiring Regulations BS7671 and IEC 60364-5-52 ** 85ºC Table is in accordance with Table 4H2A of the 16th Edition of IEE Wiring Regulations. The current ratings tabulated are for cables in free air but may also be used for cables resting on a surface. If the cable is to be wound on a drum on load the ratings should be reduced in accordance with NOTE 2 below and for cables which may be covered, NOTE 3 below. 2. Flexible cables wound on reeling drums The current ratings of cables used on reeling drums are to be reduced by the following factors: a) Radial type drum b) Ventilated cylindrical type drum ventilated: 85% 1 layer of cable: 85% unventilated: 75% 2 layers of cable: 65% 3 layers of cable: 45% 4 layers of cable: 35% technicalspecification | 5 of 6 A radial type drum is one where spiral layers of cable are accommodated between closely spaced flanges; if fitted with solid flanges the ratings given above should be reduced and the drum is described as non-ventilated. If the flanges have suitable apertures the drum is described as ventilated. A ventilated cylindrical cable drum is one where layers of cable are accommodated between widely spaced flanges and the drum and end flanges have suitable ventilating apertures. 3. Where cable may be covered or coiled up whilst on load, or the air movement over the cable restricted, the current rating should be reduced. It is not possible to specify the amount of reduction but the table of rating factors for reeling drums can be used as a guide.
