What is the ampacity rating of each circuit in a 19-pin socapex cable commonly used in film & theater??

Question

What is the most amperage you can pull through each circuit? The dimmers they attach to are 2.4K but I've heard you can only pull 14.6 amps per circuit. It is multi-cable with 6 circuits per cable.

Answer 1

OK read the wire size for each conductor off the cable. Then go to your tables in your code book to for the ampacity the wires. That will give you the ampacity of each circuit:.
# 14 wires maximum ampacity generally speaking 15 amps.
# 12 wires maximum ampacity generally speaking 20 amps
# 10 wires maximum apmpacity generally speaking 30 amps.
etc. without derating for number of conductors in cable.
