Standard condition
The following conditions have been used to calculate the current rating in the catalouge
Ambient air temperature 30 °C

Ground temperature 15 °C
Thermal resistivity of soil(g) 1.2 K.m/W
Depth of burial from ground surface to centre of cable, O.Sm for 600/1 OOOV cables
Voltage drop in consumers' installations
The voltage drop between the origin of an installation and any load point should not be greater than
the values in Table X-01 expresed with respect to the value of the nominal voltage of the installation.
The calculated voltage drop should include any effects due to harmonic currents.
