FEATURES: If you can drop down one or two sizes of cable to carry the same current then you also drop down lug sizes, cable diameter and bending radius.NOTE: For a more detailed and complete range of current carrying capacity, please refer to AS/NZS 3008.1.2.2010 tables 7, 8 & 9.The below current carrying capacities of three single core 0.6/1 KV cables used as fixed wiring which are not subject to flexing in normal use.Cables may be operated in that current range when not exposed to mechanical damage.

Unless an electrical installation is specifically designed to operate under reduced voltage conditions, the voltage drop between the point of supply and any point of the electrical installation shall not exceed 5% of the normal voltage at the point of supply.IE: 11.5V for 230V or 20V for 400V

*With this method, the millivolts per ampere metre is given and the appropriate conductor size shall be selected from the relevant page of each cable type.NOTE: AS/NZS 3008.1 series provide information on the calculation of voltage drop and a method of choosing conductor sizes taking into account voltage drop.

Vd = Volt drop in voltsL = Route length of cable in metres

I = Current to be carried in AmpsmV/Am = MilliVolt per ampere metre

ATTENUATION The power drop or signal loss in a circuit, expressed in decibels (dB). Generally attenuation increases (signal level decreases) with both frequency and cable length.

AWG Abbreviation for American Wire Gauge. A standard measurement for a size of a conductor.

BUS A network which functions like a signal line and is shared by a number of nodes.

CAPACITANCE (Capacity) That property of a system of conductors and a dielectric which permits the storage of electricity when potential difference exists between the conductors. A capacitance value is always positive.

DECIBEL (dB)One-tenth of a bel. Unit to express differences of power level. Example: The decibel is 10 times the common logarithm of the power ratio. It is used to express power gain in amplifiers or power loss in passive circuits or cables.

EMC Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC). Ability to withstand electromagnetic interference and emissions (i.e. noise and interference from cables, wires and P.C.B. traces).

IMPEDANCE Resistance to flow of an alternating current at a particular frequency, expressed in ohms. It is a combination of resistance (R) and reactance (X), measured in ohms.

OHM (Ω) The electrical unit of resistance. The value of resistance through which a potential difference of one volt will maintain a current of one ampere.

POLYESTER (PETP)Pure hydrocarbon resins with excellent dielectric properties, i.e. Low dielectric constant, low dielectric loss across the frequency spectrum, mechanically rugged and resists abrasion and cold flow. The insulating materials derived from polymerization of lower molecular weight molecules.

POLYETHYLENE (PE) A thermoplastic similar to polyethylene, but stiffer and having higher softening point (temperature); excellent electrical properties.

RESISTANCE Property of an electric circuit which electric energy is converted into a heat and has a value measured in ohms.

RMS (Root Mean Square) The effective value of an alternating current or voltage.

S-PVCUsed for core insulation and sheathing purposes. The core insulation is particularly flexible and has very good electrical characteristics. The sheath material has excellent mechanical characteristics and high flexibility.

Cable Sizing Chart Information

Example 1: The above winch draws 50amps 12VDC and the total route length is 10m. So to determine the size of cable refer to chart B (12 volts, 10% volt drop) go to 50amps on the left hand side of the chart align with 10m mark and the recommended cable will be 10mm2 (copper flex with 90° insulation).

NOTE: In warm areas, such as engine rooms and inside switchboards, you must consider the de-rating table below when sizing up cables.

50 Amp DC winch (Source of current to device)

5 metres

5 metres(Device back to source of current)

When sizing up cables for 12v and 24v circuits you must first determine what maximum volt drop % your circuit can handle. If the circuit is a DC circuit the cable length of route is measured from the source of current to the device then back to the source. For an AC application, the length of route is from the source of current to the device.

i.e. In the diagram, the length from the source of current to device is 5m and the length from the device back to current is 5m, therefore the total length of route is 10m (DC Circuit).A maximum of 3% volt drop is recommended for electronic equipment such as depth sounders, single side band radios, VHF radios and other installations such as navigation lights and bilge blowers. A maximum of 10% volt drop is satisfactory for most lighting and motor installations.
