Hi,


Does anyone have a table of the ccc and VD of aluminium core T&E cable, please?


Thanks

    No, but if you look at 543 you will see that the value of k of a copper conductor is about 2/3 that of aluminium, so I think that you could use the tables for a copper conductor of 2/3 the value of the CSA of the aluminium one. You will not go far wrong.


    Bear in mind that a 35 mm² aluminium service cable goes with 25 mm² copper tails. 35 x 2/3 = 23 1/3 so not far out.
