02 · Capabilities

Everything you need, on one schematic.

Six calculators built around the same compliance engine — switch freely without re-entering the project context.

01

LV cable sizing

Full BS7671:2018+A2 sizing with correction factors Ca, Cg, Ci, Cc and methods A–G.

02

Voltage drop

Instant check against Section 525 limits — 3% lighting, 5% other circuits, mV/A/m tables.

03

Short circuit

IPSSC calculation and adiabatic withstand check S = (I·√t)/k per BS7671.

04

PDF reports

Export cable schedules and full calculation sheets ready for project documentation.

05

Calculation history

All your sizings in one place — searchable, taggable, re-openable, exportable.

06

Motor sizing

Derive design current from motor kW, efficiency and power factor automatically.

03 · Method

The full BS7671 calculation chain — visible.

No black boxes. Every coefficient, every table lookup, every intermediate result is exposed in the workspace. The same workflow you'd use on paper, just faster.
