Significance and Use

3.1 The selection criteria is to be applied for uses of (1) new cable and (3.2 For the selection of new cable or the selection of replacement cable, this practice defines the choice criteria for conductor selection for cables in AWG (ASTM) or metric (IEC) sizes.

1. Scope

1.1 This practice is intended as a guide to shipbuilders, shipowners, and design agents for use in the selection of conductor size for single conductor or multiple conductor cable sizes either in American Wire Gauge (AWG) or metric designations for commercial ship design and construction.

1.2 The comparison chart of electrical conductor sizes shown in Table 1 presents a combined listing of international standard sizes of Class 2 stranded copper conductors in accordance with AWG (Specification B8) English units or IEC (IEC 60228) metric units.

where:
R_T	=	resistance at reference temperature R_t	=	resistance as measured at temperature α_T	=	known or given temperature coefficient of resistance of the conductor being measured at reference temperature T	=	reference temperature, and
t	=	temperature at which measurement is made.

1.3 As a precautionary caveat, some conductor sizes listed in 1.4 The values stated for ampacity and dc resistance are presented as maximum values and are provided for information only.
