Sheath temperature/Dimensions

Sheath temperature

The sheath temperature (Tm) of the cable will vary depending on the process (ambient) temperature (Tp), load (Q) and way of installation.

The sheath temperature is calculated as follows:

Tm = Q / Ua + Tp

Tm = Sheath temperature °C
Tp = Process temperature in °C
Q = Load in W/m
Ua = Heat transfer coefficience

Example:

Velox TCP/R mounted without dissipation of heat with an ambient temperature of 25°C, loaded with 20 W/m will have a sheath temperature of 65°C

Installation in asphalt

Asphalt: max. load 30 W/m cable.

Sheath temperature: diagramm 1

Cable installed free in air or against heat conducting material (Ua = 0.45)

Dissipation of heat

The heat transfer coefficient (Ua) can be improved considerably (3 to 10 times) by arranging some dissipation of heat, for instance by proating the cable with aluminium tape.
