recordBaseCable

Record that contains the properties of a generic cable

Information

This record contains the basic properties to describe a commercial cable.

The low voltage and medium voltage cables extends this base records and add other specific parameters like the geometrical properties.

The record contains four partial replaceable functions used to compute the properties of the cable such its resistance, inductance or capacitance.

  • August 30, 2024, by Michael Wetter:
    Removed wrong parameter keyword on protected variable, which is needed for Dymola 2025x.
    This is for IBPSA, #1930.
  • September 24, 2014, by Marco Bonvini:
    Revised structure of the record, now the temperature constant M is directly specified in the record.
  • September 23, 2014, by Marco Bonvini:
    Revised structure of the record, not it contains just the minimum amount of information needed to describe a cable.
    It also contains partial function that compute the properties of the cable.
