A 230kV pipe-type cable test circuit was installed in the Miami substation in the Florida Power and Light Company system. From actual test data collected, computer models were developed to allow the determination of the thermal characteristics and the ampacity of the potheads and splices on pipe-type cable systems. Field data collected from operating pipe cables in the Florida Power and Light system have validated the accuracy of these computer models developed from the test circuit parameters according to a set of simple guide lines.
