Current capacity depends on how the cable is installed. Derate for conduit, grouping, and high ambient temperature. Have a licensed electrician confirm the size for your load and run length — or start with the cable size calculator.

70 mm² aluminium against copper

Aluminium carries less current than copper of the same size, so the fair comparison is by current. The copper size closest to this cable's 165 A is 50 mm²:

70 mm² aluminium beside 50 mm² copper, same reference conditions as the specification table.
Property	70 mm² aluminium	50 mm² copper
Current capacity, 2 loaded conductors	165 A	168 A
Max resistance at 20 °C	0.443 Ω/km	0.387 Ω/km
Conductor weight per 100 m of core	18.9 kg	44.5 kg

For about the same current, aluminium is the lighter conductor, which is why it is used for service lines and long feeders; copper is smaller for the same job and easier to terminate.

Next size up or down

Aluminium cable sizes either side of 70 mm², same reference conditions as the specification table.
Size	Current capacity, 2 loaded	Max resistance at 20 °C
50 mm²	130 A	0.641 Ω/km
70 mm² (this cable)	165 A	0.443 Ω/km
95 mm²	199 A	0.32 Ω/km

Frequently asked

What is the price of 70mm aluminium cable in Pakistan?

The price moves with the daily aluminium and copper rates, so we quote it the day you order. We sell factory-direct from Lahore, with no dealer margin on top. Message us on WhatsApp for today's price per meter.

What is 70mm aluminium cable used for?

Main distribution and utility feeder runs. It carries 165 A with two loaded conductors on method C, and 144 A with three loaded conductors.

Should I use copper instead of 70mm aluminium cable?

Aluminium is lighter and lower-cost per run but needs a larger cross-section than copper for the same current. 70mm standard copper cable is rated 213 A on the same method, so it carries more current at the same nominal size. See copper vs aluminium cable.
