Abstract
Aspects of the invention pertain to cooling bundles of power distribution cables or other current carrying cables. Such cables give off heat, especially when carrying high current loads. One or more cooling members are used to secure multiple cables. The cables may be placed about a generally circular shaped member which has a central opening. Receptacles are placed along an outer perimeter of the cooling member to secure the cables. The thickness of each cooling member may vary. When multiple cooling members are used, they may be spaced at least 6 inches apart. The cooling members may be fabricated from a nonconductive material such as PVC.
