Is it about 100 degree celsius or so ?

He didn't believe in the bundle factor derating until mother nature proved that it was for real. Remember, what you're really doing is calculating a temperature rise above ambient and want to get = Ttotal =3D Tambient + Trise which must be less than Tproblem (like melting insulation) -----Original Message----- From: Adeel Malik [mailto:adeelm@xxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Thursday, 19 December, 2002 02:23 AM To: si-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [SI-LIST] Current density of Ribbon Cable Hi All, I intend to determine the max. current carrying capacity of standard 28 AWG ribbon cable. In order to do this in a precise manner, I must know the following : 1. No of strands in the cable 2. Dia of each strand (This will be used to find the total cross-section area of the wire) 3. The current density of each strand (This will be used to find the = max. current the cable can support by multiplying it with Area) Can someone give me the values of the afore-mentioned parameters or = guide me to a link possessing the info I require ?, Regards, ADEEL MALIK, Avaz Networks ------------------------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe from si-list: si-list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'unsubscribe' in the Subject field or to administer your membership from a web page, go to: //www.freelists.org/webpage/si-list For help: si-list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'help' in the Subject field List archives are viewable at: //www.freelists.org/archives/si-list or at our remote archives: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/si-list/messages Old (prior to June 6, 2001) list archives are viewable at: http://www.qsl.net/wb6tpu ------------------------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe from si-list: si-list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'unsubscribe' in the Subject field or to administer your membership from a web page, go to: //www.freelists.org/webpage/si-list For help: si-list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'help' in the Subject field List archives are viewable at: =20 //www.freelists.org/archives/si-list or at our remote archives: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/si-list/messages=20 Old (prior to June 6, 2001) list archives are viewable at: http://www.qsl.net/wb6tpu =20 ------------------------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe from si-list: si-list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'unsubscribe' in the Subject field or to administer your membership from a web page, go to: //www.freelists.org/webpage/si-list For help: si-list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'help' in the Subject field List archives are viewable at: //www.freelists.org/archives/si-list or at our remote archives: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/si-list/messages Old (prior to June 6, 2001) list archives are viewable at: http://www.qsl.net/wb6tpu
