Description

Print and and save your Cable Calculations with this cable size calculator to calculate minimum required cables sizes and voltage drop on your iPhone or iPad.

A simple to use cable calculator to calculate the minimum required cable size and voltage drop for various types of cables, installation methods, correction factors and protective devices based on BS 7671.

This cable size calculator will calculate cable size, R1+R2, voltage drop %, tabulated current (It) and Zs in two simple steps, a great tool for electrical surveys, EICR reports or designing new circuits.

Optional, enter your Circuit Reference and Circuit Description along with your Client Name and Client Address for the generated PDF file when saving or printing your cable calculation results.

Features:
- Print, Save, Email & Share your cable calculation results PDF file (from the print function)
- Automated verification checks and helpful calculation hints
- Supports manufacturer specific BS EN 60947-2 (Max Zs) MCCB's & ACB's
- Supports RCD's in TT Earthing Systems
- Enter your own voltage drop value (%) to use for the calculations or use the default 3% or 5% options

This cable calculator takes into account and applies the following factors for it's cable calculation formula:
- Voltage drop
- Correction factors
- Maximum disconnection time
- Length of circuit
- Installation method
- Cable type
- Tabulated Current
- Maximum Zs Values
- Calculate circuit Zs
- Calculate R1+R2
- Adjusted required minimum required cable ratings

Correction Factors:
Cg - Grouping
Ca - Ambient air temperature
Ca - Ambient ground temperature (if buried / in a duct)
Ci - Thermal insulation
Cf - BS 3036 semi-enclosed fuses

How to use:
1) STEP 1 - Enter your cable calculation design parameters
2) STEP 2 - Select an installation method & apply any relevant correction factors
3) Tap "Calculate" to calculate the cable size
4) Print the cable calculation results

How to share or email the Cable Calc results PDF file:
1) On the Results screen tap "Print".
2) Expand the displayed image (preview window is then displayed).
4) Tap the share icon to show your device's share and save options.

Problems

On step 2, there is a problem where you can not select the ambient temp without clicking on the two options below first. This needs fixing. (It says “no option”)
To improve this app, it would be helpful to allow you to select the wrong cable, and tell you which part doesn’t comply, and then you “+1 size” until the cable is compliant, where as you can not see the information now until you “go up a size”.
I.e. if the volt drop was none compliant etc, this would be useful but I guess may be difficult (and maybe not what it was designed for). I just thought I would feed this back.

Developer Response ,

Hi, the ambient temperature options depend on your selected installation method (ambient temp or ground temp), hence why you need to select an installation method first and why the Installation Method option is before the Ambient Temperature option.
- It the designers responsibility to select a suitable cable type for its intended use.
- When calculating a cable size if something does not comply you get a hint "Volt Drop Compliance Not Met: Try next size up" or "Max Zs Not Met: Try next size up?"

It good but needs ring /radial circuits allowance!

Great App

I personally have not had a problem with this app. It’s a really useful app for those who want to check cable requirements on the fly.
