Hi, I am struggling to answer the question 13 in quiz 14 for Current Carrying Capacity.

3 Phase.

4mm multicore, copper, PVC.

installed flat on wall.

touching another cable.

ambient temp of room does not rise above 25 degrees.

derating for bunched cables is - 0.85. T.22

derating for ambient temp -1.21 T.27(1)

0.85 x 1.21 = 1.02

CCC of 4mm - 29A

CCC after derating - 1.02 x 29 = 29.84, I am confused because I assumed the 25 degrees uprated cable if anyone can tell how I am doing this wrong would be greatly appreciated.

thanks, Jai.

Hey mate looks to me like your doing it right, ccc of 4mm is .84A more than before you applied your rating factors so it is uprated.
