Kalani 1C PVC Cable

This document provides tables with information on current carrying capacity and voltage drop for single-core PVC insulated cables. Table A1 lists the current carrying capacity in amps for various cable cross-sectional areas, depending on installation methods and number of cables. Table A2 gives the voltage drop in mV/A/m for different cable configurations and cross-sectional areas. The tables can be used to select appropriate cable sizes based on current load and acceptable voltage drop.
