To determine the CSA of the wire conductor, identify its construction and use the look up table in Section 2.1. Alternatively if the construction is non-standard use the following formula: CSA (mm2) = [Strand Dia. (mm)]2 x No. of Strands x 0.7854 To determine the CSA of the wire barrel, first flatten the wire barrel into its developed shape and measure this flattened length (mm). Multiply this by the thickness of the material to get the
