Siechem EBXL Solar cable 125 for example has a life span of 20'000 h at a conductor temperature of +120°C, which is approx. 2.5 years. If it is used at another temperature, lifetime expectations are as follows: 0 Ambient Temperature 90 C 0 Current Rating 120 C 0 Ambient Temperature 30 C Construction Sq.mm 1x0 1.5 2.5 4 6 10 39 51 68 88 121 Free Air 37 48 65 84 115 On Surfaces without Opposite Contact 26 34 45 59 80 On Surfaces with Opposite Contact 21 27 36 47 64 In Conduict, Duct 1x0 Lifetime Expectation Lifetime in Hours 80 90 100 110 120 130 140 150 160 3 10 4 10 5 10 6 10 Temperature in Degrees 0 Ambient Temperature 60 C Construction Sq.mm 1x0 1.5 2.5 4 6 10 Free Air On Surfaces without Opposite Contact On Surfaces with Opposite Contact In Conduict, Duct 1x0 32 42 56 72 99 30 39 53 69 94 21 28 37 48 66 17 22 30 39 52
