Based on charge simulation technique for solving the electrostatic field problems, a method to compute the capacitance of three core belted power cables is discussed. It is shown that very accurate capacitance calculations are possible if an appropriate number of simulating charges are used. Furthermore, the factors which influence the accuracy of such computations are analyzed.
