Example 11.20. A single-core cable is laid in the ground, the core diameter being 30 mm and the dielectric thickness 40 mm. The thermal resistivity of the dielectric is 5 thermal ohm-metres and the thermal resistance between the sheath and the ground surface is 0-45 thermal ohm length of the cable. Neglecting dielectric and sheath losses, estimate the maximum permissible current loading if the temperature difference between the conductor and the ground surface is not to exceed 55°C. The electrical resistance of the cable is 110µ2 per metre length. per metre

Example 11.20. A single-core cable is laid in the ground, the core diameter being 30 mm and
the dielectric thickness 40 mm. The thermal resistivity of the dielectric is 5 thermal ohm-metres and
the thermal resistance between the sheath and the ground surface is 0.45 thermal ohm
length of the cable. Neglecting dielectric and sheath losses, estimate the maximum permissible
current loading if the temperature difference between the conductor and the ground surface is not to
exceed 55°C. The electrical resistance of the cable is 110 µ2 per metre length.
