Each session will address specific\, technically focused topics relevant to professional engineers. \nWebinar details\nElectrical cables are typically designed with conservative current ratings\, making thermal failure at only 60% of rated load both puzzling and concerning. This webinar investigates a real-world case where a power cable experienced insulation failure and thermal damage well below its expected capacity. \nParticipants will explore the complex interplay among installation conditions\, thermal environment\, harmonics\, proximity effects\, and derating factors that are often overlooked in design. The session reveals how assumptions in cable sizing can break down under practical constraints such as poor ventilation\, grouping\, soil thermal resistivity\, or distorted currents from modern electronic loads. \n\nThe webinar will be recorded and will be sent out to registered attendees afterwards.\nA certificate of attendance will be provided to attendees who request one near the end of the live webinar session.\nPlease note: the time stated on this event is in UTC. You will need to convert this to your own time zone.\n\nKey takeaways from this webinar\n\nUnderstand how environmental and installation factors significantly alter cable ampacity.\nEvaluate the impact of harmonics and skin effect on conductor heating.\nIdentify common errors in cable derating and grouping assumptions.\nApply advanced thermal assessment and monitoring techniques to prevent premature failures.\n\nRelated courses\nThis webinar/topic relates to our school of Electrical Engineering and is particularly found in the following courses: \n\nGraduate Certificate in Power System Analysis and Design\nGraduate Certificate in Power Engineering\nGraduate Diploma of Engineering (Electrical Systems)\n52892WA Advanced Diploma of Electrical and Instrumentation (E&I) Engineering in Mining\n52883WA Advanced Diploma of Applied Electrical Engineering (Electrical Systems)\nUET60222 Advanced Diploma of ESI – Power Systems (Australia & New Zealand Only)\nOnline – Bachelor of Science (Electrical Engineering)\n\nTo learn more about tuition fees\, please click here. \nAbout the presenter\n \nEmeritus Professor Akhtar Kalam \nBSc\, BScEng\, MS\, PhD\, FIET\, CEng\, FAIE\, FIEAust\, CPEng\, NER\, APEC Engineer\, IntPE(Aus)\, PEV\, MCIGRE\, Life Senior Member of IEEE. \nProfessor Akhtar Kalam is a supervisor of EIT’s Doctoral students.
