geometrical factor for cable insulation thermal resistance

A model for the geometrical factor of the thermal resistance between conductor and sheath, fitted to a graph of Anders: G = −0.36⋅(t_i/D_c)^4 + 1.9⋅(t_i/D_c)^3 − 3.7⋅(t_i/D_c)^2 + 3.8⋅(t_i/D_c) + 0.24.

Notes

This node's name is a non-informative reference to a model in Zaaijer (2013); it should get an informative name.
2026-09-09: name, description changed — Table D-1, row "Geometrical factor (fit to graph of Anders)", under Electricity. Named for what the factor is for, since "geometrical factor" alone says nothing about where it is used. The published name was the table's row number, which the node's own note asks to replace; the description now carries the equation, which the new name would otherwise only restate.
