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.
