• Wire sizes are selected for three cables per bundle at 40°C (104°F) ambient
temperature with the rated current.
• Use cable with a minimum withstand voltage of 600V for main circuits.
• If cables are bundled in PVC or metal ducts, consider the reduction ratio of the
allowable current.
• Use heat-resistant cables under high ambient or panel temperatures where
normal vinyl cables will rapidly deteriorate.
• Use cables within the allowable moment of inertia.
• Do not use cables under continuous regenerative state.
The following table shows the wire size and allowable current for three cables. Use a
cable whose specifications meet or are less than the values in the table.
