what is derating factor in Cable ? how we minimise this?
Answer Posted / kaustav bhadury
Answer 9 is the most comprehensive...
U get loads of standards based on the country u r in..
If in duct-
1) Soik Thermal resistivity : Basically the max temp in the
surrounding. 40*C is the standard.
2) Conductor grouping : Due to arrangement of multiple
conductors there is a development of an EM field which
opposes the flow and thus we need to consider this factor.
3) Temp. Derating Factor : In this the arrangement of cables
in a conduit is of prime importance. It should be in such a
way that all cables have a minimum space to dissipate heat
into the surroundings. The cables can touch each other but
anyone cable should not be fully surrounded by other cables.
4) Burial Depth : Depends on the length below ground where
the conduit is laid.

We have a couple of oil tanks at our plant. One of them does not have a lightning arrester installed. My question is it necessary to install an arrestor on every tank or will this particular one be covered by the arrestor installed on the ajdacent tank, Since all the tanks are close to each other. Basically, I want to know that if these arrestors or protection works in a parituclar area of effect or influence. Thanks
