The thermal behaviour of underground cables have enjoyed the attention of cable engineers for over a 100 years. The aim of the earlier work was to obtain a temperature profile for the cable against time after the application of a continuous load. In recent years, cable engineers started to focus their attention on the cyclic behaviour of cables and determining emergency current rating factors for cables. For this project, the thermal behaviour of a buried cable is investigated with an experimental set-up. Continuous as well as cyclic loads are investigated. The measured temperature data will be used to develop an equivalent thermal network model. This model is based on the analogy between the flow of an electric current and the flow of heat.
