Abstract

Determining reliable cable ampacities for marine high voltage cables is currently the subject of significant industry and academic reassessment to optimise design (maximise load while maintaining safe operating temperatures) and reduce costs. The ampacity rating limits the maximum current that can be safely carried, such that the operating conductor temperature is limited to 90°C for Alternating Current (AC) (Worzky, 2009) or 70°C for Direct Current (DC) (Brakelmann & Anders, 2018). Standard ampacity models (e.g. IEC-60287), are based on cable properties, operational considerations (e.g. Load I [A]) and environmental factors, including ambient temperature
