English term or phrase: ampacity

Definition from Energy Technologies, Inc.:
The current carrying capacity, expressed in amperes, of a conductor under stated thermal conditions.

Example sentence(s):

Though the melting point of copper theoretically imposes a limit on wire ampacity, the materials commonly employed for insulating conductors melt at temperatures far below the melting point of copper, and so practical ampacity ratings are based on the thermal limits of the insulation. allaboutcircuits.com
Determination of the actual thermal resistivity of the soil is very important since the thermal characteristics of the surrounding soil and the laying depth of the cable circuit can alter the circuit ampacity by more than 50%. Kema
In general most terminals are rated for 75 degrees C. Conductors with 90 degree C insulations can be used on these terminals provided they are not used at an ampacity higher than the 75 degree C. ampacity. However, the 90 degree insulation ampacity can be used for derating purposes. electriciancalculators.com

安培容量

Definition from IOSH安全資料:
安培容量：以安培表示導線載流容量，謂之安培容量(Ampacity)。導線通有電流時，因電阻而變熱(I2R損失)，導線的溫度將較其周圍的溫度高，當超過某一限度時，導線的電氣及機械性能將因而衰減，另外，如表一所示，絕緣材料有最高容許溫度，故導線或器具有載流安培容量限制。

Example sentence(s):

600伏电缆其内部绝缘物容许温度可分为摄式60℃、75℃、80℃及90℃，其安培容量如表16-3、表16-4、表16-5、表16-6所示。周温低于35℃时之60℃绝缘物(PVC)修正系数 ... - XFarm178.com
（二）电路之供应数台电焊机用电者，其安培容量得小于根据第一款第一目所求得电流 ... （三）分路供应数台电阻电焊机者，其安培容量不得小于最大电阻电焊机根据第二目 ... - 台北市法规查询系统-
二、绝缘电线按磁珠磁夹板配线，其安培容量如表16-2所示。三、绝缘电线按导线管槽配线时，其安培容量如表16-3至表16-6所示。四、绝缘电线按PVC管配线时，其安培容量 ... - taconet
