    Short circuit ampacity of ACSR wire

    I am trying to find a reference in a textbook to the amount of current ACSR wire can carry before it is damaged. As an example, 3/0 ACSR can carry 325 amps and there is a damage curve for it but it does not consider what happens if someone loads it to 500 amps for an hour. Thanks,
