Earthing Cable Sizing __full__ [480p | UHD]

The industry-standard method for calculating the minimum cross-sectional area of an earthing conductor is the "Adiabatic Equation." This formula assumes that the heat generated during a short fault is entirely contained within the conductor (no heat dissipation to the environment) and that the conductor heats up adiabatically.
