Let’s get started the full article and see the Current Carrying Capacity Of Aluminium Cable.

Current Carrying Capacity Of Aluminium Cable

Lots of brands make Aluminium cable but we only focus on gauge not on brand because all top brands have the same quality so you can purchase the best quality cable for your needs.

2.5 Sq MM Cable Specification

2.5MM Cable wire is a perfect solution for basic load products such as LED Bulb, Fan, Emergency Light, Torch And other products that come under 500 watts load. You can hassle-free run any product on a 2.5mm cable wire.

4.0 Sq MM Cable Details

This is another good quality cable for normal loads such as Fans, coolers, Home Appliances, LED bulbs and much more. 4.0 MM cable easily handles up to 800 watts load capacity so you can run your home normal products.

We have tested this cable on different products and it’s working well on 800 watts load capacity but we don’t recommend you use it on more than 800 watts load otherwise your cable PVC is damaged in seconds and all your waste.

6.0 Sq MM Cable Specification

Most people use 6.0 Sq MM Cable in their houses because this cable easily handles up to 1200 Watts load capacity and no one running high-loaded power products in their home due to electricity bill issues.

6 MM cable is a great choice for normal load home, office and other areas but If you have Room heaters and other powerful appliances we don’t recommend you to choose 6 mm cable for your home. It’s only suitable for a normal load home.

8.0 Sq MM Cable Load Capacity

8.0 Sq MM cable comes with heavy load capacity products such as water heater immersion rods, geysers, kettles and many more products. You can hassle-free run 1800 watts load without any problem.

If you are thinking of using it in your home it’s a good choice for you but we recommend you to 10 MM cable for your home because 10 MM is the most demanding cable right now.

10 Sq MM Cable Load Specification

10 MM cable is a great choice for use in your home power line, It can easily handle geysers, Heaters, Immersion and other heavy-loaded products. Our team tested 10 MM cable strength and this cable easily worked on 2500 watts load without any issue.

If you have a normal home we recommend you to use 10 mm cable for power supply and always choose top brand cable wire.

There are lots of cables available in the market but 10 mm is enough for 2500 watts load and most homeowners have a 2 KW electricity connection so we suggest you choose any one of them cable for your home, shop, office and other work.

I hope you understand the Current Carrying Capacity Of Aluminium Cables, If you still want more powerful aluminium cables for your home you can choose more than 10 MM gauge cables.

Most people only have low-wattage capacity products but If you have heavy-powerful products such as AC, and power machines we recommend you to use copper wire or net gauge aluminium cable because Aluminium material can’t handle much load.

(Note: Before choosing any heavy load cable, I request you to kindly ask for an expert so they suggest you best quality aluminium cable for your needs)

Lots of variants are available in this guage such as 2-core, 3-core and 4-core but only 2-core cables are allowed on house electricity connection so don’t use 3-core or 4-core cables on normal house connection. 3-core and 4-core cables are allowed on commercial electricity connections.
