AmpacidadThis article presents an analysis of the factors influencing the load capacity of underground cables in medium voltage networks. It discusses the considerations and results of capacity calculations, comparing the IEC 287 and IEC 853 standards with modeling and simulation using Cymcap software. The study considers the types of cables, load conditions, and the rated capacities of an electricity distribution company in Peru, explaining the results and proposing a modification to the installation method of single-core cables to increase transmission capacity.
