| Error | Likely cause | Solution | |-------|--------------|----------| | Non-convergence | Too high load current | Reduce load or improve soil cooling | | Negative ampacity | Missing metallic layer resistance | Define sheath material & conductivity | | Zero EMF field | No return path defined | Set sheath bonding or add separate PE conductor |
For underground power cable systems, the Buried module enables the creation of laying arrangements with up to 20 systems composed of different cable types. These systems can have varying frequencies, loading patterns, and load factors, and can be installed either directly in the ground or within pipes. Users can add heat sources, model duct banks and backfills, consider drying-out effects, and fill ducts with bentonite. The module supports complex configurations including cable crossings, and Cableizer was the first software in the market able to calculate multiple crossings using an intelligent iterative procedure.
Cableizer doesn’t “approximate” ratings—it rigorously applies the full IEC 60287 series for steady-state (100% load factor) conditions. For short-term and emergency overloads, it implements the transient rating methods of IEC 60853. This dual compliance ensures your designs meet international regulatory and safety standards. cableizer software
For decades, engineers relied on three methods for ampacity calculations:
The software enables users to analyze the thermal behavior of cable systems by simulating various factors: | Error | Likely cause | Solution |
Calculates magnetic field distributions around cable arrangements. Thermal Analysis:
The utility of Cableizer lies in its multi-disciplinary approach, wrapping complex physical equations into an intuitive user interface. 1. Thermal Analysis and Ampacity Calculations This dual compliance ensures your designs meet international
Determining the maximum current a cable can carry without exceeding its operating temperature.
Cableizer is noted for its rigorous validation against industry standards: CIGRE TB 880:
Cableizer's Tunnel module addresses one of the most demanding installation scenarios in modern power engineering: calculating current ratings for multiple independent cable systems in ventilated tunnels. The software is the only one on the market capable of calculating the current rating for up to six different, unequally loaded cable systems in ventilated tunnels, using a method developed by the Cableizer team and presented at Jicable'19 in Paris. In addition to its proprietary approach, the module offers alternative methods including the Heinhold method and IEC 60287-2-3 standard.
