So Cable Ampacity

Common applications include wiring for industrial machinery enormous appliances heavy duty tools motors and temporary electrical power and lighting for construction sites.

So cable ampacity. 0 50 ft. 2 3 or 4 3 or 4. For ambient temperatures other than 78 f 86 f or more than three current carrying conductors in a raceway cable or earth use the advanced wire ampacity calculator this takes into account correction factors for voltage drop temperature and the number of current carrying conductors. Over 15 2 m soow service oil resistant insulation jacket weather resistant 18 awg.

So cord is a multi conductor power cable that can be operated both inside and outside environments. You must use the correct size wire for the current load requirement of the circuit to prevent the wire from overheating. For allowable ampacities for fixture wire please see the national electrical code handbook. Types of cord gauge size range number of cord conductors number of current carrying conductors 1 ampacity of current carrying conductors amperes voltage rating of cord.

Tables 400 5 a and 400 5 b list the allowable ampacity for flexible cords and flexible cables with not more than three current carrying conductors at an ambient temperature of 86 f. Soow 4 3 is composed of 3 bare copper conductors with a 119 25 stranding an ethylene propylene diene monomer rubber epdm insulation and a chlorinated polyethylene cpe jacket. 0 15 2 m over 50 ft. Our soow 4 3 4 gauge cable is part of our power cables portable cord line of wire cable.

Usually a general purpose house circuit is designed for 20. 10 amps 7 amps. Allowable ampacities of insulated copper conductors rated up to and including 2000 volts 60 c through 90 c 140 f through 194 f not more than three current carrying conductors in raceway cable or earth directly buried based on ambient temperature of 30 c 86 f. Never use a flexible cord or cable in place of a permanent wiring method.

Soow cord from allied wire cable is manufactured with the highest quality materials. Soow 4 3 4 gauge portable and power cable. Wire temperature rating ambient temperature c 200c 250c 450c ambient temperature f 41 50 0 97 0 98 0 99 106 122. Current is measured in amperes or amps.

It is rated to 600 volts and has a temperature range of 40 c to 90 c. Our soow cord is available in 2 awg through 18 awg with 2 conductors up to 50 conductors. Replace rather than patch a damaged cord or cable.
