Thermal rating refers to the maximum amount of heat that an electrical device or conductor can safely handle before it becomes damaged or its performance is compromised. This rating is essential for preventing overheating and ensuring the longevity and reliable operation of electrical systems and components in various environments.

An electrical conductor is a material that allows the flow of electrical current with minimal resistance, typically due to the presence of free electrons or ions. Conductors are crucial in electrical circuits and systems, enabling the transmission of electricity from power sources to devices and appliances.

Overheating refers to a situation where an economy grows at an unsustainable rate, leading to inflation and potential economic instability. It often results from excessive demand, low unemployment, and high levels of consumer spending, which outpace the economy's ability to produce goods and services efficiently.
