5.4.8.2 Notes on calculating the cable cross-section
► Consider the following factors when calculating the cable
cross-section:
– Cable material
– Temperature conditions
– Cable length
– Installation type
– Voltage drop
– Loss of power in the cable
► Always follow the IEC 60364-5-52 requirements and your
country-specific installation instructions.
► France: Follow the installation instructions of UTE 15-712-
1. This standard contains the requirements for minimum
cable diameters and for avoiding overheating due to high
currents.

5.4.8.6 Handling aluminum conductors during installation
work
► The special properties of aluminum must be taken into con-
sideration when using aluminum conductors:
Aluminum "flows," i.e. it gives way under pressure.
–
– A thin non-conductive oxide layer forms within a few
minutes on de-insulation, which increases the contact
resistance between the conductor and clamping point.
The specific conductivity and hence the current carry-
–
ing capacity is approximately one third less than that of
copper.
