Download or read book Rating of Electric Power Cables written by George J. Anders and published by New York : Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers. This book was released on 1997 with total page 472 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Addressed to electrical engineers and others concerned with safe, cost-effective power cable design and installation, Anders (Ontario Hydro Technologies) shares his experience through examples in selecting optimal cable ratings, equations used in the selection process, model calculation sheets, and theoretical considerations. The volume is organized around thermal modeling (cable construction, installations, circuit theory, heat transfer and rating equations); evaluation of parameters (dielectric losses, joule losses, thermal resistances and capacitances); and advanced topics (special cable installations, ampacity computations, and economic selection of conductor cross section). Appendixes on related topics; list of symbols used, and table of US cable sizes. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
