Attached are two graphs showing the required wind and ambient temperature conditions to obtain a certain city of 1272 ASC (each graph shows four different current levels). One graph uses the DC resistance at 20 degrees Celcius, as used in our standard ampacity tables, and the second graph uses the AC resistance at 70 degrees Celcius. As is seen the ampacity for the “worst case" condition consisting of a 40 deg C ambient with a 2 foot/sec wind, the maximum ampacity is 950 A for the DC resistance case and 850A for the AC resistance case. The ampacity tables currently being used have a maximum current value of 930 A. The calculations used to determine the ampacities are derived from IEEE Std. 738-1986.as pose sl veo 00 0) | | 2008 100 10008 850A, oeth "Re rmsistance par neal foo, ct @70 deg Celis.
