A 16mm² cable can typically carry a current of around 70 to 100 amps, depending on factors such as the installation conditions, ambient temperature, and insulation type. In general, for standard insulated copper cables, a common rule of thumb is to assume about 1 amp per mm² for continuous loads. Always consult local electrical codes and regulations for specific applications.
