== Examples of wiring systems and reference methods of installations  ==

An illustration of some of the many different wiring systems and methods of installation is provided in {{FigureRef|G10}}.

Several reference methods are defined (with code letters A to G), grouping installation methods having the same characteristics relative to the current-carrying capacities of the wiring systems.

== Maximum operating temperature:  ==

The current-carrying capacities given in the subsequent tables have been determined so that the maximum insulation temperature is not exceeded for sustained periods of time.

For different type of insulation material, the maximum admissible temperature is given in {{FigureRef|G11}}.

== Correction factors  ==

In order to take service conditions of the installation into account, correction factors have been introduced.

The cross-sectional area of cables is determined using the current-carrying capacity of the cable I<sub>Z</sub>, multiplied by correction factors:
I'<sub>Z</sub> = I<sub>Z</sub> . k<sub>1</sub> . k<sub>2</sub> ...

where:

{{def
|I<sub>Z</sub>| current carrying capacity of the cable in the reference installation method
|I'<sub>Z</sub>| "corrected" current carrying capacity of the cable in real installation conditions
|k<sub>1</sub>, k<sub>2</sub> ...| corrections factors, detailed in the following paragraphs }}

The cross sectional area of cables is then chosen in order to ensure that their "corrected" current-carrying capacity I'<sub>Z</sub> is higher than the rated load current I<sub>B</sub>: I<sub>B</sub> ≤ I'<sub>Z</sub>

=== Ambient temperature ===

The current-carrying capacities of '''cables in the air''' are based on an ambient air temperature equal to 30 °C. For other temperatures, the correction factor is given in {{FigureRef|G12}} for PVC, EPR and XLPE insulation material.

The related correction factor is here noted k<sub>1</sub>.

=== Soil thermal resistivity ===

The current-carrying capacities of cables in the ground are based on a ground resistivity equal to 2.5 K•m/W. For other values, the correction factor is given in {{FigureRef|G14}}.

The related correction factor is here noted k3. 

{{tb-start|id=Tab1186|num=G14|title=Correction factors for cables in buried ducts for soil thermal resistivities other than 2.5 K.m/W to be applied to the current-carrying capacities for reference method D (table B.52.16 of IEC 60364-5-52)|cols=5}}

|txn2= '''Note 2''': The correction factors are applicable to cables drawn into buried ducts; for cables laid direct in the ground the correction factors for thermal resistivities less than 2.5 K•m/W will be higher. Where more precise values are required they may be calculated by methods given in the IEC 60287 series.
|txn3= '''Note 3''': The correction factors are applicable to ducts buried at depths of up to 0.8 m.
|txn4= '''Note 4''': It is assumed that the soil properties are uniform. No allowance had been made for the possibility of moisture migration which can lead to a region of high thermal resistivity around the cable. If partial drying out of the soil is foreseen, the permissible current rating should be derived by the methods specified in the IEC 60287 series.}}

Based on experience, a relationship exist between the soil nature and resistivity. Then, empiric values of correction factors k3 are proposed in {{FigureRef|G15}}, depending on the nature of soil.

=== Grouping of conductors or cables===
The current-carrying capacities given in the subsequent tables relate to single circuits consisting of the following numbers of loaded conductors:
* Two insulated conductors or two single-core cables, or one twin-core cable (applicable to single-phase circuits);
* Three insulated conductors or three single-core cables, or one three-core cable (applicable to three-phase circuits).

Where more insulated conductors or cables are installed in the same group, a group reduction factor (here noted k4) shall be applied.

Examples are given in '''Figures G16 to G18 '''for different configurations (installation methods, in free air or in the ground).

{{FigureRef|G16}} gives the values of correction factor k4 for different configurations of unburied cables or conductors, grouping of more than one circuit or multi-core cables.

=== Harmonic current ===
The current-carrying capacity of three-phase, 4-core or 5-core cables is based on the assumption that only 3 conductors are fully loaded.

However, when harmonic currents are circulating, the neutral current can be significant, and even higher than the phase currents. This is due to the fact that the 3<sup>rd</sup> harmonic currents of the three phases do not cancel each other, and sum up in the neutral conductor.

This of course affects the current-carrying capacity of the cable, and a correction factor noted here k5 shall be applied.

In addition, if the 3<sup>rd</sup> harmonic percentage h<sub>3</sub> is greater than 33%, the neutral current is greater than the phase current and the cable size selection is based on the neutral current. The heating effect of harmonic currents in the phase conductors has also to be taken into account.

The values of k5 depending on the 3<sup>rd</sup> harmonic content are given in {{FigureRef|G19}}.

{{tb-notes
|A= If the neutral current is more than 135 % of the phase current and the cable size is selected on the basis of the neutral current then the three phase conductors will not be fully loaded. The reduction in heat generated by the phase conductors offsets the heat generated by the neutral conductor to the extent that it is not necessary to apply any reduction factor to the current carrying capacity for three loaded conductors.}}

== Admissible current as a function of nominal cross-sectional area of conductors  ==

IEC standard 60364-5-52 proposes extensive information in the form of tables giving the admissible currents as a function of cross-sectional area of cables. Many parameters are taken into account, such as the method of installation, type of insulation material, type of conductor material, number of loaded conductors.

As an example, {{FigureRef|G20}} gives the current-carrying capacities for different methods of installation of PVC insulation, three loaded copper or almunium conductors, free air or in ground. 

{{tb-start|id=Tab1192|num=G20|title=Current-carrying capacities in amperes for different methods of installation, PVC insulation, three loaded conductors, copper or aluminium, conductor temperature: 70 °C, ambient temperature: 30 °C in air, 20 °C in ground (table B.52.4 of IEC 60364-5-52)|cols=5}}
