When sizing cables, the heat generated by losses within any sheath or armour need to be evaluated. When significant, it becomes a factor to be considered in the sizing of cables. This note looks at how to obtain the necessary loss factors for use within the IEC 60287 calculation. In addition, the loss factors quantify......Read More..
