Underground Thermal Analysis helps engineers to design cable systems to operate to their maximum potential while providing
secure and reliable operation.
The advanced graphical interface allows for design of cable raceway systems to meet existing and future needs by using precise calculations to determine required cable sizes, their physical capabilities, and maximum derated ampacity.
In addition, transient temperature analysis computes temperature profiles for cable currents, reducing the risk of damage to cable systems under emergency conditions. |
