A 25mm sq electrical cable is equal to a #4 AWG conductor.
A #4 copper conductor with an insulation factor of 75 and 90 degrees C is rated at 85 and 95 amps respectively.

The above answer is dead wrong. 14 gauge wire can only be used on a 15 amp breaker. You will need AWG 10/2 copper for a 25 amp breaker.

∙ 11y agoI would use #10. Make sure of separation from other cables of at least one cable diameter. and don't run it embedded in insulation.

Wow! Nobody knows what they are talking about. A 12g wire can carry 25A at 100% capacity. Most would suggest a 10g wire if your doing a new install.

What size cable is needed to supply 415v 250 amp three phase fuseboard?
A 250 MCM copper conductor with a insulation factor of 75 or 90 degrees C is rated at 255 and 265 amps respectively. This conductor can only be load to 80% capacity which allows a working current of 204 and 212 amps respectively. To obtain the full capacity of 250 amps a 350 MCM conductor will be needed. The amp rating for a 350 MCM conductor with an insulation factor of 90 degrees C is 325 amps. 325 x .8 = 260 amps.
How much current does 300 sq mm cable carry?
A 228 sq mm conductor equates to 450 MCM. A conductor of 450 MCM is not a standard AWG wire size. A standard 400 MCM will carry 380 amps. A standard 500 MCM will carry 430 amps. Difference between 400 and 500 MCM amperage's is 50 amps. Transposing between the two amperage's of 50 amps will be 380 + 25 = 405 or 430 - 25 = 405 amps. This is a very rough calculated answer for the question.
What is the cu cable size in 400a load?
A 0.15Cu cable has a rating of 382 amps summer and 476 amps winter. 0.2Cu allows 425/530 amps. That is for outdoor use in overhead lines.
What area of science uses amps and ohms?
Amps, or amperes, are a measure of electrical current; ohms are a measure of electrical resistance. Both are widely used in physics.
What is the current amp of 150sqmm aluminum cable?
445 amps. For example Mulberry AAAC cable.
What is ampacity of 25mm cable at 250 volts?
The amperage rating is dependent upon the insulation rating. A pair of 25mm squared wires touching each other are rated at 131 amps. Three 25mm squared wires touching each other are rated at 110 amps.
How much current does 20 AWG cable carry?
30 Amps
What diameter is 240 sq mm cable?
The 240 sq. mm cable has a diameter of 17.48 mm. It can carry up to 425 Amps current in a duct and up to 520 Amps in open air.
How much capcacity of mm size four core cable well be used in running 1kw three faze motor?
Depends on the type of cable, the method of fixing the cable, the ambient temperature and the way the cable has been run to the motor (i.e in trunking, Conduit) Bascially a cable with a current carry capasity of 2 amps should be fine (1.45 amps with power factor of unity and no de-rating factors). Remember 1mm cable can carry at least 8 amps. Also please improve your English when asking stupid questions!!
When is wire size an electrical hazards?
Wire size becomes an electrical hazard when it is under rated for the amount of current (Amps or I) it has to carry.Current is the flow of electrons in a circuit. If the current is too large for the cable, the cable will be subject to heating, which is a possible fire hazard.
What are electrical amps?
Amps is short for ampere, a unit for current.
How many amps for a 0.75mm cable?
5 amps
How many amps will 10-2 wire carry at 40 feett?
30 amps is how much a 10-2 wire will carry at 110 feet. 10 gauge wire is only good for thirty amps per the national electrical code. Using 80% of the breakers usage you will actually be getting only 24 amps.
What is meaured in amps?
The electrical current in a circuit is measured in amps.
What wire size is used in the 60 amp low voltage cable?
#6 AWG50sqmm Al cable can carry 60 amps safely up to 150mtrs. If distance increases size should increase

What gage wire do you need to carry sixty amps at 12 volts?
Imperial cable 120/0.012" 60 amp Metric cable 120/0.30mm 55.5 amp 80/0.40mm 70 amp.
