Cable Sizing Calalculator

Calculation Notes

Cable sizing compiles with:
 - BS 7671:2008, IEE Wiring Regulations 17th Edition
 - IEC 60364:2001

Cable size is selected as follows:
  1. Cable is calculated on current capacity
  2. Voltage drop is calculated (and cable size increased if necessary)
  3. Fault level withstand is calculated (and cable size increased if necessary)

Tip: if you don't want fault level to be considered, you can set it to a very low value.
