    This document contains tables providing the current carrying capacity and voltage drop for different types and sizes of multicore PVC-insulated cables. Table 4D2A specifies the maximum current in amps that can be carried by copper conductor cables with cross-sectional areas ranging from 1 to 400 mm2, depending on the installation method and number of cores. Table 4D2B gives the voltage drop in mV per ampere per meter for various cable types and sizes. Notes provide additional information on cable standards, assumed conductor shapes, and application of values. Contact details are listed for the standards body and Batt industrial sales.

    VOLTAGE DROP (per ampere per metre)

    TABLE 4D2B

    NOTES:
    1. Where the conductor is to be
    protected by a semi-enclosed
    fuse to BS3036, see item 6.2
    of the preface to this
    appendix within the 16th
    edition regs..
    2.. Circular conductors are
    assumed for sizes up to and
    including 16mm. Values for
    larger sizes relate to shaped
    conductors and may safely be
    applied to circular conductors.
    3. Cables to BS7629 are rated for
    a conductor operating
    temperature of 70C and are
    therefore included in this table,
    although the material used for
    the cable insulation is not pvc.
    4. * With or without a protective
    conductor.

    Conductor operating temperature:
