  • Abstract
    The heat transfer analysis of a 15 kV-XLPE underground power cable is investigated under different loadings using a developed full size experimental setup to analyze the behaviour of the underground cables directly buried in sand and soil. The developed experimental model was simulated using proposed thermal finite element tools and the obtained results were compared with the experimental results to validate the developed simulation methodology.
