"New Study Finds Attic Temperatures Can Pose Serious Risk--Copper.org
If you’ve ever been up in your attic on a sunny summer day, you know the meaning of hot. If you have a dark color roof on your house, the heat buildup in the attic can be unbearable. Well, pity your home’s electrical wiring — it has to perform in this superheated environment day after day.
The heat doesn’t affect the copper conductors in the wiring. They can handle far higher temperatures than those found in attics. The problem is the plastic insulation and jacketing that surround the wires. These are usually rated to withstand up to 194°F, but temperatures that approach this limit are not recommended.
Two factors combine to heat up the wire. The first is the heat in the surrounding, or ambient, air in the attic. Recent research carried out by the Copper Development Association has shown that ambient temperatures in attics can easily be 30° to 50°F higher than the outdoor temperature. Remember, the outdoor temperature that the weatherman quotes is measured in the shade."
"As people with MS, we have plaques on our nerves where demyelination has taken place. This slows the ability of the nerves to functin, and heat further slows down nerve impulse transmission in demylinated regions. Even a very slight increase of as little as one-quarter to one-half a degree in the body’s core temperature is enough to cause symptoms of heat intolerance. " --About.com
