We often treat cable sizing as a simple lookup: "10 amps? Use 1.5mm²." But in the real world—where ambient temperatures hit 50°C in a rooftop conduit, where harmonic currents distort neutrals, and where voltage drop starves a motor 400 meters away—that naive approach fails. | Number of circuits | k₂ (touching, in
