Tucking the temperature probe between the cable and the wall
gave a reading of 41 C after the heat pump had been running for 30
mins or so....

Is it fair to assume that 10 C above ambient is OK
for this cable ??


Yup, that sounds about right for a cable like that at about half
capacity; especially if you allow for some insulating properties of the
PVC sheath.


Ah - excellent - I'll have to find something else to worry about ! g

Thanks
