Cable Current Ratings — 4 Standards Comparison
Free download · A3 landscape (420 × 297mm)
This A3 landscape poster puts cable current ratings from all four major standards side by side in a single view. Compare Cu/XLPE ratings for 15–18 cable sizes across AS/NZS 3008 (Table 13/14), BS 7671 (Table 4D2A), IEC 60364 (Table B.52.4/5), and NEC (Table 310.16) at a glance. Color-coded cells highlight the highest rating in green and the lowest in amber per row, making it immediately obvious which standard is more or less conservative for any given size. Perfect for engineering offices, design studios, and university electrical labs where engineers regularly work with multiple standards. Print in color on A3 paper, frame or laminate, and pin on the wall behind your desk. Your colleagues will thank you.
