Calculators

Each tool answers one question, with at most a few fields to fill in from the start. If you also want the reasoning behind it, it is one click away.

Pick a tool

🏠Maximum demand and service current

What power do I ask for at the service connection for this dwelling?

You enter:
the fit-out variant, the type of dwelling and the number of dwellings
You get:
the maximum demand, the factors applied and the service current

🔌Cable cross-sectional area and MCB

What cable do I run and what MCB do I fit for this load?

You enter:
the power of the load, the type of circuit, the route length
You get:
the cable cross-sectional area, the MCB rating and the design current

📉Voltage drop

It’s 20 m to get there — how much do I lose on the way?

You enter:
the length, the power and the cross-sectional area
You get:
the voltage drop as a percentage and the verdict against the limit

Current from power

How many amps does this appliance draw?

You enter:
the power and the type of circuit
You get:
the current drawn and the next standard rating up

📏Minimum cross-sectional area by type of circuit

What am I allowed to fit as the absolute minimum on this circuit?

You enter:
the type of circuit and the material
You get:
the minimum cross-sectional area allowed and the article that imposes it

🚿IP rating in the bathroom

Can this piece of equipment go there?

You enter:
the zone and the IP rating of the equipment
You get:
the requirement in the standard and the verdict for your equipment

🔁kW, kVA and amps

How many kVA does that mean, and what current comes out?

You enter:
one value, its unit and the type of circuit
You get:
the other two quantities, plus the reactive power

Earth electrode resistance

How many electrodes do I drive to get below the required threshold?

You enter:
the soil type, the type and the dimensions of the electrode
You get:
the resistance of one electrode and the number needed for the required threshold

🏷️Cable marking decoder

What does the writing on the cable mean, letter by letter?

You enter:
the marking read off the cable
You get:
the meaning of every symbol, with the source and the level of certainty

The results are indicative and do not replace a design checked by a registered electrician. Every tool states its assumptions.
