Change volume insulation

Assuming all material between conductor and outer diameter is insulation material. The formula is only valid for single-core cables

Symbol
$\delta{}V_i$
Unit
mm$^3$
Formulas
$V_i 3\chi_i \left(\theta_{max}-\theta_{pull}\right)$max increase
$V_i 3\chi_i \left(\theta_{min}-\theta_{pull}\right)$max decrease
