CYMCAP Insights

What is CYMCAP?

CYMCAP is a software tool used for calculating the ampacity (current-carrying capacity) of underground cables. It considers factors such as cable construction, soil thermal properties, burial depth, and ambient temperature to determine the maximum current a cable can safely carry without exceeding its temperature rating. It is commonly used by utilities, engineers, and designers to ensure the safe and efficient operation of underground power cable systems.
