A corrected current-carrying capacity curve (derating curve), derived from
the [.] basic curve (see figure 4.197), shall specified the relevant
detail specification. This curve takes into account variations specimens as
well errors temperature measurements the measuring equipment.
.198: Example current-carrying capacity graph
The derating factor justified because the current-carrying capacity may
be limited further external factors, e. these factors result current-
carrying capacity other than that which may expected due thermal
limitations, then revised value shall apply. In
many cases, the individual terminals can carry several times the
derated current indicated the derating curve when less than %
of the total complement used.g.
For these cases, general rules cannot established and the limits
must determined for each individual case.
