Osprey 556.5MCM Ampacity Design
The ampacity of the Osprey 556.5MCM refers to the maximum current the cable can carry. It is affected by many factors, including material, the diameter, the upper temperature limit and the driver's environmental conditions.
Conductive properties of aluminum cables: aluminum is an excellent conductive material, so ACSR cables usually have high conductivity and can carry higher currents.
Mechanical strength of steel core: Steel core provides mechanical support and strength of the cable.
Room temperature: Design ampacity is also affected by ambient temperature.
Safety factors: to ensure safe and reliable operation of the cable, Certain safety factors are generally considered in the design load capacity to ensure the stable operation of the cable under nominal working conditions..
