what is derating factor in Cable ? how we minimise this?
Answer Posted / kekshavanarayana.g
Derating factor depends on ambient temperature & how u r
laying the cable ie., in Air,Duct,Burried.
normally the current carring capacity of a perticular cable
is calculated at 40*c, but if u lay the cable in air then
it includes the temparture around it,if it increases more
the 40*c then the conductor gets heated up by increasing
the resistance in it thus the current carring capacity of a
given cable decreases, so we will derate the cable
