Calculation of thermal resistance for cable tray installation
IEC 60287-2-1 contains formulas for the calculation of the thermal resistance between one conductor and sheath, the thermal resistance between sheath and armour, the thermal resistance of the outer sheath, and the thermal resistance to ambient. This article will explain the thermal and electromagnetic factors affecting cable ampacity in tray installations, discuss various calculation methods (analytical and numerical), summarise the standards including IEC 60287, and outline three different methods for calculating the ampacity of cables. The National Electric Code (NEC) provides guidelines on ampacity for cables installed in ventilated and ladder-type trays. The technical content of IEC publ...
