This document provides rating factors for adjusting cable ampacity based on environmental conditions. It lists factors for:
1) Ambient air temperature and ground temperature, providing adjustment factors ranging from 0.9 to 1.14 based on temperatures from 15 to 50 degrees Celsius.
2) Depth of cable laying, with deeper depths requiring lower ampacity ratings.
3) Variation in soil thermal resistivity, with higher resistivity soils requiring lower ampacity ratings. Adjustment factors range from 0.75 to 1.19 based on resistivity values from 100 to 400 degrees Celsius per watt.
