Abstract
A method of characterizing a bundle (1) of electrical cables (2, 3, 4, . . . ), comprising taking into consideration for at least one surface temperature of the cables (Tsurface), firstly of at least one sum of heat fluxes (Φ1, Φ2, . . . , Φn) calculated for each cable (2, 3, 4, . . . ) for the heating effect due to the electrical resistance of each cable passing a respective electric current (i1, i2, . . . , in), and secondly of a heat flux (Φs) calculated for the heat given off by the bundle (1) into its environment in order to make the dimensioning of the cables (2, 3, 4, . . . ) compatible with their use.
