A considerable effort has been done in the field of the electrical engineering Accepted 8 June 2011 to develop methods for calculating the thermal flux from the cables system to the ground surface Available online 18 July 2011 through the soil. Nevertheless, the modeling hypothesis currently assumed for the case of arrays of a finite number of pipes-cables introduces approximations that can involve inaccuracies in calculation. Keywords: In this paper the extent of such inaccuracies is investigated by numerical techniques. Results show that Buried cylinders arrays the th
