Soil Thermal Resistivity and Cable Sizing
When it comes to designing underground electrical installations, cable sizing plays a crucial role. Choosing the right cable size that can operate safely below its transmission capacity is essential to prevent thermal failure. In this article, we will discuss the
Why Is Derating Cables Necessary?
You can customise your cable sizing calculations to determine derating factors based on AS/NZS 3008 using our CableHero cable sizing calculator. But why is it important for us to derate electrical wires? Let’s understand cable derating in this article. What does derating mean? According
The Minimum Bend Radius of Cables
When cable sizing, what is the importance of determining the minimum bend radius of cables? What is Bend Radius? Before we discuss the minimum bend radius, let us first define what bend radius is. The bend radius is the rounded form in which
