  • Abstract
    The thermal characteristics of buried heat sources (transformers) are analyzed and evaluated. Important parameters of the soil environment are discussed. The theoretical analysis is correlated with field test data in a variety of environments. Loadability characteristics of direct-buried transformers are presented along with an analysis of ways and means of increasing loadability.
