Current capacity is calculated for single circuit; distance of axial between cables: 250mm; depth of laying: 1000mm; thermal resistivity of soil: 1.2k•m/W; temperature of
soil:25℃ ; temperature of air:40℃ ; Single core cable sheaths may either be solidly bonded (bonded at both ends)or single point bonded.
