Tutorial - Study Committee B1 - Finite Element Analysis for Cable Rating Calculations

Presenter : James Pilgrim (UK)

CIGRE Technical Brochure TB 963 provides guidance for computing cable current ratings using the Finite Element Method (FEM).
Although standards-based analytical calculations remain an essential tool for cable system design, the use of FEM to enable in-depth assessment of potential thermal bottlenecks is prevalent. 
Comprehensive guidance and verification approaches are provided for cable system designers.
The TB also provides guidance to clients requesting FEM studies.
