1
Open air installation according to IEC 60502-2: three single-core cables in trefoil formation and ambient temperature of 30 °C; protected from direct sun
radiation and with adequate ventilation (supported by cleats and hangers or on perforated tray).
2
Buried installation according to IEC 60502-2: three single-core cables in trefoil formation direct buried at a depth of 0,8 m, ground temperature of 20 °C
and soil thermal resistivity of 1,5 K·m/W.
3
Buried installation according to IEC 60502-2: three single-core tubed cables (one cable per tube) in trefoil formation and buried tubes in mutual contact at
a depth of 0,8 m, ground temperature of 20 °C, soil thermal resistivity of 1,5 K·m/W and thermal resistivity of the tube of 1,2 K m/W.
Reactance (X) is calculated at 50 Hz and for three single-core cables (in triangle or trefoil formation).
Capacitance values (C) are calculated in base to dimensional items of the cables that are in this specification.
In all cases are supposed a three-phase circuit.
