This study by J. Desmet and D. Putman analyzes how non-linear loads affect power dissipation in low-voltage cables, focusing on IT equipment currents. Theoretical considerations and temperature evaluations for both linear and non-linear loads are discussed. Findings indicate increased power losses with non-linear loads, potentially leading to cable overheating in high IT load environments.

Analysis of the influence of non linear loads on power dissipation of LV cables J. Desmet, D. Putman
Cable Temperature:Evaluation Temperature for balanced symmetric linear and nonlinear load (XVB cable 4*2.5mm²)
Cable Temperature:Simulation Simulated temperature distribution for balanced symmetric linear and nonlinear load 20A/phase (XVB cable 4*2.5mm²)
Conclusions Few triple n harmonics in distribution, so no special measures However in building distribution with a high number of IT loads, excessive neutral conductor currents occur so cable overheating is possible. Extra power losses are found (increase up to the double of linear load)
