TL;DR: In this paper, the steady-state temperature of electrical power cable was estimated using two-dimensional highly symmetric simplified calculations, which have formed the basis for many cable applicat ion guidelines and regulations.
Abstract: This Neher–McGrath paper describes a method of esti mating the steady-state temperature of electrical power cables for commonly encountered co nfigurations. By estimating the temperature of the cables, cables’ safe long-term c urrent-carrying capacity (termed “ampacity”) is determined. The paper described two-dimensional highly symmetric simplified calculations which have formed the basis for many cable applicat ion guidelines and regulations. Complex geometries, or configurations that require three-di mensional analysis of heat flow, may require more complex tools such as finite element analysis.
