    This technical paper describes a method for calculating the steady-state temperature and load capacity of electrical cable systems. The paper presents a simplified two-dimensional model for estimating cable temperatures in common configurations, which allows determining the cables' safe long-term current carrying capacity. The calculations form the basis for many cable application guidelines and standards. The paper is frequently referenced for its usefulness in determining cable ampacity values in standard tables.

    The Calculation of the Temperature Rise and Load Capability of Cable Systems
    by J. H. Neher and M. H. McGrath

    This NeherMcGrath paper describes a method of estimating the steady-state temperature of


    electrical power cables for commonly encountered configurations. By estimating the
    temperature of the cables, cables safe long-term current-carrying capacity (termed ampacity)
    is determined. The paper described two-dimensional highly symmetric simplified calculations
    which have formed the basis for many cable application guidelines and regulations. Complex
    geometries, or configurations that require three-dimensional analysis of heat flow, may require
    more complex tools such as finite element analysis.

    Their article is so useful that it is used as reference for the ampacity in standard tables.
