Cable Selection Calculation Hot! 99%

TABLE correction_factors ref_id: UUID, type: enum ('Temperature', 'Grouping', 'Soil'), condition_value: float, factor_value: float

Verify that the selected cable can withstand the fault current for the protection device's operating time ($t$). $$S = \frac\sqrtI_sc^2 \times tK_sc$$ cable selection calculation

A cable is not a passive pipe. It interacts with protection devices, ambient environment, fault levels, and load behavior. Oversizing by one gauge "just to be safe" might pass voltage drop but could fail short-circuit withstand if the extra inductance reduces fault current below breaker trip levels.
