For systems such as underground power transmission cables, evaluation of the short-term over-load capacity of the cable system requires a detailed analysis of the cable's thermal environment and an evaluation of the commercial value of the lost service life due to excess temperature rise.
A wire or cable has a voltage (to neutral) rating and a maximum conductor surface temperature rating. The amount of current a cable or wire can safely carry depends on the installation conditions. The international standard wire sizes are given in the IEC 60228 standard of the International Electrotechnical Commission.

Power cables may be installed as permanent wiring within buildings, buried in the ground, run overhead, or exposed.
The cable is predicted to cost around $300 million and is owned by the Southern Cross group of companies. [11] When finished, Southern Cross NEXT will be able to carry up to 72 terabits per second. [12] The NEXT cable will not be marketed as a stand-alone cable, but rather is designed to be an extension of the original Southern Cross network.
