Could anyone send me a table or URL which includes current carrying capacities of copper conductors for low DC voltages.

Specifically, i need a cable with 150V 1A carrying capacity. The cable should include multiple thin Cu conductors (1 mm thickness each)enclosed with pvc shield. For example each copper conductor in the cable carry 20 mA.

You should go by the electical codes in the location where it will be installed, and you should consider the total length of the cable just in case there is a voltage drop to contend with. 1A is not very much, butif you want to carry it 5kM, that is a problem that must be addressed.
