Overhead Cable Ampacity
Overhead Cable Ampacity
(OP)
I would like to find an affordable, yet easy to use with WIN95, program to calculate the ampacity of various overhead conductors - AAAC, ACSR, etc. - for various temperatures and altitudes. Can anyone recommend such a program?
Thanks!
Thanks!






RE: Overhead Cable Ampacity
I found one that requires you to have AutoCAD at: http://engineering.software-directory.com/software-2.cdprod1/002/070.Bare.Wire.Sizing.shtml
I guess it is a module that you use with AutoCAD.
There is one other program I found out there called ThermCap. Their website is located at www.thermcap.com and it says it uses the IEEE 738 methodology. This one looks to be a stand-alone program for windows operating systems.
Hope this helps...
