The current carrying capacity, expressed in amperes, of a conductor under stated thermal conditions.
Ampacity is the safe current-carrying capacity of an electrical conductor in amperes as defined by code.
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.
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.)
Current carrying or current providing capability.
The maximum amperage a given wire size can safely deliver.
Also known as "current carrying capacity," it is the capability of handling electric current, as expressed in amperes.
Current handling capability expressed in amperes. The maximum current a conductor can carry without being heated beyond a safe limit.
The current-carrying capacity of an electrical conductor or device, expressed in amperes.
The maximum continuous current that a conductor can carry without overheating and rising above its temperature rating.
Capacity for current-carrying of an electrical conductor.
Ampacity is the rms 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.
