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

Definition from Wikipedia:
Intensitat de corrent màxim que pot circular de manera continuada per un conductor elèctric sense que es deteriori.

Example sentence(s):
  • Investigadors del Consell Superior d'Investigacions Científiques (CSIC), la Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB), i altres institucions alemanyes i dels Estats Units, han desenvolupat un mètode simple per a mesurar el corrent màxim que poden suportar les cintes superconductores, el tipus de material amb què, molt probablement, es fabricaran els cables superconductors del futur. - CSIC Catalunya
