| Guideline values of current carrying capacity are valid up to a frequancy of 60 Hz, assuming a wind velocity of 0.6 m/s, the effect of solar radiation for Germany, an initial ambient temperature of 35C and a conductor temperature of 80C. For special applications, when there is no air turbulence, the values should be reduced by 30% |
