Abstract :
Unlike conventional cables, the operating temperature of sodium cable lies close to its melting point. Although this does not affect the current rating at normal ambients, one cannot reap the full current rating benefits which normally accrue from a lowered ambient temperature. This paper describes how the ambient temperature affects the maximum operating temperature of sodium cable.
