Cable Size Calculations

Cable Size Calculator

Ensure Compliance with

BS7671 : 2008

and Accurately Calculates

Correct Cable Sizes and more

in Seconds rather than Hours

or even Days

It’s never been more important to ensure compliance with BS7671 when planning or altering an electrical installation, but cable calculations can be extremely complex, confusing and inevitably time consuming.

Accurate calculations are important both from a contractor’s perspective and also the customer’s perspective. Over costing a job can result in lost work, whereas under pricing can result in an unprofitable project for the contractor.

On top of all this, there’s compliance to consider.

Complex jobs can result in hours upon hours of pouring through pages of tables and regulations just to glean the information necessary to perform the required calculations to ensure compliance. Mistakes can all to easily creep in.

With the correct software however, calculations become quick and simple and compliance is assured. Hours of manual cable size calculations can be completed accurately and easily in seconds.

ElectaCourse have teamed up with Solutions Electrical to offer what we believe to be the most effective, comprehensive, easy to use and affordable cable size calculation software that is available anywhere today.

Available immediately as an instant download, with a CD copy forwarded to you in the post, this comprehensive software does much more than just cable calculations.

Find the correct Cable Size quickly and efficiently.

Simply enter a few known parameters such as length of cable run, load current etc., select your cable material, method of installation and circuit protection and hit ‘Calculate’.

Instant, comprehensive results which are both compliant and economical.

Access information such as cable size and capacity, voltage drop in volt and percent, fault level, minimum trip current needed, touch potentials, maximum and actual impedance values, actual let through current and much more. All at the click of a button.

Find the correct Cable Size quickly and efficiently.

Simply enter a few known parameters such as length of cable run, load current etc., select your cable material, method of installation and circuit protection and hit ‘Calculate’.

Instant, comprehensive results which are both compliant and economical.

Simple and flexible.

If you prefer, or are required to, you can enter your own cable size and within seconds produce accurate results for working temperature, voltage drop, earth loop impedance compliance, touch potentials, cable size verification and more.

Calculate Earth Loop Impedance

Fill in a few additional fields on the screen and click the Calculate button for instant, comprehensive and compliant results.

Peace of mind in the knowledge that you’ve achieved earth loop impedance compliance in just a few seconds.

Calculate Maximum Demand

The Maximum Demand calculation feature can simply save you hours or even days of work.

Simply select your load type, such as lighting, select lamp type and rating, enter the quantity of lamps on each phase and click ‘Calculate’ for instant and compliant results.

The Cable Size Calculator comes complete with Test and Inspection Forms

Complete your Electrical Installation Forms, Periodic Inspection Report, Minor Works Certificate, Schedule of Inspections and Schedule of Test Results forms quickly and easily on screen.

Print the forms out from your PC saving time and money on pre-printed forms.

The Cable Size Calculator is available in four versions to suit your needs:
