With actual test data collected from the 230kV pipe-type cable described in reference (1), computer models were developed which allow the determination of the thermal characteristics and the ampacity of direct buried pipe-type cable splices. Computer techniques developed in (1), the accuracy of which were verified by field data collected from operating pipe cables, were again used in developing the computer models for this project.
