Copper Locomotive Cable Resistance 1

[ARDEIS]

Hi, im currently working on arc-flash studdies involving single "Copper Locomotive cable" and i'm looking for the specific resistance of these cables; such as 535.3 kcmil and 444.4 kcmil.

I'm currently using PSAF and it's database doesn't have any info about these specific cables, only the regular 500-600 kcmil and such.

Thank you for your time.

Any spec table with ohm/foot or km would help.

In the US this is known as DLO - Diesel locomotive cable, I believe. Many cable manufacturers make it. I would contact one of them and ask for impedance data - or do a Web search.

The impedance is going to be similar to any copper cable with a similar cross section.

I've already looked on the internet but all i could find din't have anything about the cable resistance. I'm also waiting on a manifacturer about that info.

Ty for your ideals.
