14      Current ratings are based on a conductor operating temperature of 85°C and an ambient air temperature of 45°C
        and assumes single cable isolated in free air.
        The ratings do not apply if the cable is protected by a semi-enclosed fuse to BS3036.
15
        For further guidance refer to the BS7671 Requirements for Electrical Installations (IEE Wiring Regulations - latest edition).
        For ambient air temperature other than 45°C the following rating factors should be applied:

The upper temperature limits in the table opposite refer to the maximum continuous temperature of the conductor due to the
                                                                                                                                                     3
combination of ambient temperature and temperature rise due to current flow. The lower values quoted are the minimum
temperatures for equipment wire, which may be subject to slight flexing during their normal operating life.
                                                                                                                                                     4
The current carrying capacities quoted are for wires carrying a continuous current in free air at an ambient temperature.
                                                                                                                                                     5
NOTE: Current carrying capacities will depend on circumstances but for general guidance the quoted current values will give a
temperature rise of about 15°C, in ambient temperatures up to 70°C for single, freely ventilated, insulated wires. Different
values will apply when equipment wires are bunched.                                                                                                  6

Welding cables are now used for many duties ranging from automatic welding machines where the current is carried                                   3
continuously, to hand welding equipment which is used intermittently and where the cable has time to cool between the
periods on load.
                                                                                                                                                   4
In order to provide current ratings for intermittently loaded cables, the term ‘duty cycle’, sometimes called ‘arcing time factor’
or ‘load factor’ has been introduced. Duty cycle is defined as the ratio of the duration of operation under load, to the duration                  5
of a complete cycle. This ratio, lying between 0 and 1, may be expressed as a percentage.
                                                                                                                                                   6
For example, if a cable carries its load current for six minutes followed by a period of four minutes off load and this cycle is
repeated, every ten minutes, this gives a duty cycle of 60%.
                                                                                                                                                   7
Welding equipment to BS638 is rated for repeat cycle operation based on a ten minute period. When authorised, a repeat cycle
based on a five minute period may be used.                                                                                                         8
The current rating tables give ratings corresponding to various duty cycles in common use. The following are typical duty                          9
cycles for various welding processes and applications.

The voltage drop values given above are for 10 metres of cable carrying 100 amperes. For longer lengths of cable and heavier
currents, the voltage drop value should be increased proportionally.                                                                                 10
*The corresponding values when using a.c. may be much higher depending on the inductance of the circuit.
