[ I_actual = I_table \times k_1 \times k_2 \times k_3 \times k_4 \times k_5 ] cable selection calculation
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.

The correct size is the smallest cross-section that satisfies checks simultaneously – not the largest, and certainly not the first guess from a table. where harmonic currents distort neutrals
