IN CABLE TRENCH WHY FILL UP THE SAND. AND WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN OVER HEAD AND UNDER GROUND..

In overhead cables, we donot require any cooling media as
air is cooling media. whereas in Under ground cables, in
pucca trench, we put sand around the cable before is it is
cemented.The reason for sand is that it absorb water and can
help in transmit the heat from cable.

I have a shop heater with a 1/3 hp capacitor start, induction motor driving the fan. Intermittently, the fan motor speeds up significantly for several seconds (15-60 sec) then slows to normal operating speed. The manufacturer suggested changing the capacitor which made no sense, but I did it to no avail. Could this possibly be caused by the centrifugal switch intermittently reconnecting the start winding?
