In this paper, a method is presented for calculation of ampacity of cable in fire protection wrapped cable trays. A brief description of the model is presented. The iterative technique used for solution of the model's simultaneous transcendental equations is presented with a description of the computer program. Cable derating for several typical installations is given and a graph is developed for use with ICEA P-54-440. Ampacity derating derived from the model is also compared with published test results for two different fire wrap systems.
