The temperature distribution along the length of the termination of a single core cable as well as the maximum temperature location are calculated using an analytical method. Also, parameters affecting the maximum temperature along the length the medium voltage cable termination such as: the ambient temperature, the cable load current, insulation thermal conductivity, and termination dimensions (outer jacket length, length of the semi-conductor, length of the field regulator, thickness of the insulation, and thickness of the jacket) are discussed. The analytical method used is based on the heat flow produced by cable conductor and heat transfer by conduction, convection, and radiation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
