4.1 General
Designing the cable, consideration should be paid to the maximum admissible current stated in the detail
specification. It is assumed that the raise if temperature of the inner conductor when submitted to the
maximum current under nominal ambient conditions does not affect the mechanical and electrical
properties of the cable (details are under study).
