Corrected transient temperature rise conductor

This is the corrected transient conductor temperature rise above ambient temperature caused by the change in conductor resistance with temperature during the transient period.

$\theta_{c_0}$ is the conductor temperature at the start of the transient.

Symbol
$\delta \theta_{\alpha,t}$
Unit
K
Formulas
$\frac{\delta \theta_{c,t}}{1+\alpha_{c,t} \left(\delta \theta_{c,\infty}-\delta \theta_{c,t}\right)}$
