    Cable and Circuit Breaker Sizes (Inspect)

    Uploaded by

    Wael Ahmad
    This document provides information on commonly used copper conductor cable sizes for different circuit breaker sizes used in conduit or trunking systems. It lists the cable sizes in millimeters squared for thermoplastic PVC insulation rated at 60 degrees Celsius and thermosetting insulation rated at 90 degrees Celsius. The cable sizes range from 1.5 mm2 up to 500 mm2 depending on the circuit breaker size, which range from 10 amps up to 600 amps. It also lists the types of applications each cable size is used for, such as lighting, socket outlets, air conditioners, and mains circuits. Larger cable sizes are used for mains and isolator applications.
