This section is devoted to assessing the extent depending on the type of cable laying and other parameters.
Type of pipeline | Using the circuit | Material | Conductor cross-section [mm2] | Notes |
Cables fixed pipeline | Power and lighting circuits | Copper | 1,5 | - |
Cables fixed pipeline | Power and lighting circuits | Aluminium | 2,5 | It is recommended that the means used to connect the ends of the Aluminium conductors are tested and approved for this specific use |
Cables fixed pipeline | Control and signaling circuits | Copper | 0,5 | Signal and control circuits for electronic equipment is allowed a minimum diameter of 0.1 mm2 |
Fixed pipeline bare conductors | Power and lighting circuits | Copper | 10 | - |
Fixed pipeline bare conductors | Power and lighting circuits | Aluminium | 16 | - |
Fixed pipeline bare conductors | Control and signaling circuits | Copper | 4 | - |
Flexible connections with cables (with and without sheath) | For a specific appliance | Copper | As specified in the corresponding IEC | |
Flexible connections with cables (with and without sheath) | For any other appliance | Copper | 0,75 | For multicore flexible cables, which contain seven or more, the allowable section of 0.1 mm2 |
Flexible connections with cables (with and without sheath) | Low voltage circuits for special applications | Copper | 0,75 | - |
