CURRENT RATING OF SHIPBOARD WIRE
Abstract
EFFORT WAS MADE TO ESTABLISH A METHOD FOR CURRENT RATING OF CABLE OR BUNDLES OF INSULATED WIRE. Specifically, to (1) devise a method of computing the maximum current which a bundle of wire may carry without exceeding a predetermined temperature, and (2) describe a simple method of predicting the temperature rise when the load is given. Temperature rise and load capacity can be determined using available mechanical data. A factor called cable efficiency is introduced to allow a mechanical analogy. The mechanical analogy is then solved to yield current capacity. (Author)
