Abstract
A system of three underground cables in a trench is modelled using fin ite difference method, The model accommodates most of the geometrical parameters and the working conditions. The heat dissipation from each individual cable is calculated for various parameters including the ca bles diameters, the trench width and the spacing between cables. Some of the geometrical dimension have great influence on improving the tot al ampacity of the system.
