Non linear Behavior Theoretical Considerations
Non linear Behavior Theoretical Considerations
Cable Temperature: Evaluation Temperature for balanced symmetric linear and nonlinear load (XVB cable 4*2.5mm²)
Cable Temperature: Simulation Simulated temperature distribution for balanced symmetric linear and nonlinear load 20A/phase (XVB cable 4*2.5mm²)
Conclusions Few triple n harmonics in distribution, so no special measures However in building distribution with a high number of IT loads, excessive neutral conductor currents occur so cable overheating is possible. Extra power losses are found (increase up to the double of linear load)
