Abstract
Backfill material with thermal resistivity which has $50^{\circ}C$-cm/Watt in wet and $100^{\circ}C$-cm/Watt in dry is requested to improve the power transfer capability for dissipation of heat production in underground power cables. In the field test performed by buried cable backfills, the backfill material developed from this study is compared with river sand and weathered soil (native soil) to investigate the effect of heat transfer in various seasons and locations of thermal sensors. As a result, the developed backfill material is faster approaching yielding temperature (critical heat) than that of river sand and weathered soil, and it has good dissipation capacity rather than other materials by keeping moisture content at dry season.
