testing cables

<...which cable better...>

It depends upon the parameter being selected as to which one is 'better':

• One of them is better than the other at dissipating heat.
• One of them is better than the other at retaining it.

...though ambient conditions, the method of installation, etc., all have a bearing on the matter.

thanks for your answer

In support of PWSlack's replay;

Try do an insulation test using a megger ohm meter on the two cables and see if there will be any slight difference in the insulation reading.

This may indicate which cable is possibly in weak insulation. Remenber to isolate and lock out_Tag Out the supply source first.

On the other hand, the selection of which cable to use will depend on the application and the environment to which the cable will be laid through.

thanks for your answer

hi

as u have tested both of the cables with keeping all the parameters identical,

2nd cable is better than 1st because for same ambient temperature, it dissipates more heat than 1st cable. which helps u to increase current by somewhat heigher than 30 ampeares so that its insulation reaches to 70° if it is safe.
