Derating Factor

The document provides tables with derating factors for the current carrying capacity of cables due to group installation in air or burial. It lists the derating factor based on the number of cables horizontally and vertically, their spacing, and the basic ambient temperature. The maximum permissible conductor temperature for XLPE cables is also specified.
