Abstract :
THE EFFECT OF the thermal resistivity of the soil on the temperature of a buried cable is well known. It is of more importance for the newer directly buried and pipe-type installations in which the temperature rise through the soil forms a larger percentage of the total temperature rise than is the case with the older concreteduct types.
