This video teaches the fundamentals of soil dry out and explains how it affects power cable ampacity calculations. Several example calculations are explained.

The Transient Rating module in ELEK Cable HV Software calculates the emergency and cyclic current rating of cables installed in air and buried cables, in accordance with IEC standards.

How to use the Cable Model Editor to model custom cables from manufacturer datasheets and use the cable model obtain the current-carrying capacity.

The Finite Element Method (FEM) module in ELEK Cable HV Software calculates the current rating of cables in custom arrangements and goes way beyond the limitations of the IEC Standards. For example, users can calculate the current rating for installations with multiple zones of different thermal resistivity.

An example calculation of 132 kV single core and 22 kV three core cable circuits crossing where the derating factor for variation of the crossing angle is examined.

The Magnetic Fields module in Cable HV Software calculates the magnetic field density in micro Tesla µT occurring around a cable, circuit, or a group of circuits. The calculations are based on the Biot-Savart law which explains the fundamental quantitative relationship between electric current which is flowing and the magnetic field it produces.
