How deep is the box? (Need to know the volume of the box). It is 2.25 cu in per 12AWG conductor, and it does not matter if it carries current or not.

Current carrying capacity of copper in terms of cross sectional area?

The normal current carrying capacity is 6 amps per square millimeter without any cooling with forced cooling the number can be as high as 30 amps per square millimeter and for a motor application this means 5 times the energy density so a typical 1 or 2 KW/Kg energy density is now 5 to 10 KW/Kg in a continuous operation and peak values can be 10 times for a min or 20 times for a few seconds. The limiting factor is the thermal effects and how you deal with them the more efficient the heat removal the higher the allowed level of current.


What is the greatest area of a rectangle with 100 ft perimeter?

If it's allowed to be a square, 625 square feet. If not, 624 square feet.


Why cable size in square mm?

Cable size is measured in square millimeters (mm²) to indicate the cross-sectional area of the conductor, which directly relates to its current-carrying capacity and resistance. A larger cross-sectional area allows for more electrical current to flow with less resistance and heat generation, reducing the risk of overheating and improving efficiency. This measurement is crucial for ensuring safe and effective electrical installations that comply with industry standards.


Why wire size in square mm?

That would refer to the cross-section. A wire that has twice the diameter of another wire would have 4 times the cross-section - and therefore 4 times as much weight per meter, and 4 times as much current-carrying capacity.

What do you understand by square mm of electric cables?

In European countries and elsewhere, the cross-sectional area of electric cables and busbars are expressed in square millimetres. The larger the cross-sectional area, the greater the current-carrying capacity.


What is conductor area?

Conductor area refers to the cross-sectional area of a conductor, such as a wire or cable, that carries an electric current. It is typically measured in square millimeters or square inches and is an important factor in determining the current-carrying capacity and resistance of the conductor. A larger conductor area generally allows for more current to flow with lower resistance.

Are resistor heating affected by line frequency?

No. The heating effect is the product of the square of the current and resistance, where the current is a root-mean-square value.A.C. current is always expressed as a root-mean-square (r.m.s.) value, which is equivalent to a d.c. current which produces exactly the same heating effect. Root-mean-square values are affected by the shape of a waveform, but not by its frequency.
