Electronics Nuclear engineering Power utility companies typically select their preferable cable design based on the power flow and results of economic analyses. The power flow analysis is a crucial process in evaluating the design and typically being carried out as early as in planning stage prior to the construction stage. It analyses the power systems in normal steady-state operation. Nevertheless, in most cases, the aforementioned analyses only take into consideration the initial investment and operational costs of the lines along with their lifetime period with less detail practical evaluation on the electrical performance of the cable design including the power flow, electric field and electromagnetic characteristics. This project aims to evaluate and compare the electrical performance of aerial bundle cable and spacer cable using actual project of 33 kV distribution lines of Murum–Belaga using DIgSILIENT PowerFactory software.

It is found that the simulated electrical performances such as power flow analysis, cable loading, Ferranti effect and voltage drop of both cable systems contribute in the decision making process by complementing the economic assessment method such as the net present value.
