Definition of ampacity in English English dictionary
- The root mean square of the electrical current which a device (usually a wire) can carry within a specific environment (including temperature rating, power loss, heat dissipation, etc.) It is measured in amperes, (amps) and is most often used to rate electrical wires and cables
- (Mühendislik) Ampacity, sometimes specified by manufacturers as a current rating, is the RMS electric current which a device can carry within specified temperature limitations in a specified environment dependent upon: a) temperature rating, b) power loss, c) heat dissipation
- The amount of current a wire can safely carry
- The amount of electrical current (amperage) that a conductor can safely carry on a continuous basis
- (general): current capacity in amps
- The current-carrying capacity of an electrical conductor or device
- (See current-carrying capacity)
- the maximum continuous current that a conductor can carry without overheating above its temperature rating
- -The current in amperes that a conductor can carry continuously under given conditions of use without exceeding its temperature rating
- The allowable current carrying capacity of a conductor measured in amperes
- Current handling capability The maximum current a conductor can carry without being heated beyond a safe limit
- The maximum current an insulated wire or cable can safely carry without exceeding either the insulation or jacket material limitations (Same as Current Carrying Capacity)
- A term used to describe the current-handling capacity of an electrical device
- The current in amperes that a conductor can carry continuously under the conditions of use without exceeding its temperature rating
- Current-carrying capacity of electrical conductor or device
- Refers to the how much current a wire can safely carry For example, a 12 gauge electrical copper wire can safely carry up to 20 amps
- Current-carrying capacity, expressed in amperes, of a conductor or cable under stated thermal conditions
- "Ampere capacity", the maximum allowable continuous current carrying capacity of a conductor without exceeding its temperature rating Measured in Amperes Affected by conductor material, insulation temperature rating, ambient temperature, installation condition and cable grouping
