EXPERTISE 04 / 04

Electrical & thermal calculations

Ampacity calculations and manufacturing simulations informed by cable construction and material-specific properties.

AC cable ampacity

Access to data for commercial XLPE and semi-conductive compounds, and experience calculating the capacity of XLPE and PP cable systems.

Material data can differ from IEC 60287 values, so inputs and assumptions are made explicit.

DC & thermoplastic cables

Particular emphasis on thermoplastic insulation, using relevant properties of the compounds involved.

Application, construction and operating conditions determine the calculation scope.

Cooling during production

Simulations of PP cable cooling during manufacture predict temperatures that could damage the cable.

Process parameters can be evaluated before changes are made on the line.

Project background: Eifelkabel’s existing technical portfolio.
