Remark: The outer layer has to be right handed (Z- rotation)
Reference values for continuous current- carrying capacity are valid up to 60 Hz at the given wind velocity of 0,6 m/s and sun impact (for Germany) for a starting ambient temperature of 35°C and a final temperature of the conductor of 70° C. For special environmental conditions (calm) the values have to be reduced by about 30%.
Other designs: for example international standards or customer specifications - on request
