Summary

The loading of aging underground cable systems is both increasing and becoming more stochastic. A major impact to conductor temperature rise is due to the installed environment. Soil and backfill conditions are thus critical to the integrity of a cable system. WG B1.41 has investigated the long term degradation mechanisms and their mitigation.

A Users Guide provides straightforward assessment methods.
