(a)- Based on 40C ambient air temperature and where applicable,

burial depth of 0.8m, soil temperature of 25C and thermal resistivity
of 1.2Cm/W.
(b)- For fault durations other than one second, divide the appropriate
given value by the square root of the required time (in seconds).
(c)- Based on a duct size of 100mm internal diameter.
(d)- Trefoil groups are bonded at both ends.
Screen fault ratings are based on an initial temperature of 80C
and a final temperature of 250C.
Conductor fault ratings are based on an initial temperature
of 90C and a final temperature of 250C.
