Consider a 2.5 mm² copper conductor with XLPE insulation, carrying a fault current for 0.8 seconds.

This 37% increase allows engineers to specify smaller conductors or slower protection devices, saving material costs while maintaining safety.

Many countries adopt IEC standards as their national standard (e.g., BS EN 60949 in the UK, DIN EN 60949 in Germany). Often, local engineering libraries or university databases provide free reading access even if you cannot download the file.
