The ampacity, or current-carrying capacity, of a buried power cable is determined to a large degree by the effective thermal resistance of the earth to the heat flowing from the cable to the ambient earth surface. Often the heat passes through sharp discontinuities in the earth, where the thermal resistivity changes. Analysis of the thermal circuit in such cases can
