CableHero Features #
CableHero is a professional-grade, web-based platform designed for electrical engineers, designers, and contractors who require precision, compliance, and efficiency in their cable sizing and electrical design workflows. Our advanced cable calculation features include:
Cable Sizing Calculator #
Perform accurate cable sizing calculations based on load, installation method, cable type, and environmental conditions. This cable size calculator in Australia automatically evaluates voltage drop, current-carrying capacity, and fault withstand ratings.
Standards Compliance: AS/NZS 3008 & AS/NZS 3000 #
All calculations and outputs are compliant with AS/NZS 3008 for cable selection and AS/NZS 3000 for electrical installation rules, supporting consistent adherence to Australian industry requirements.
Auto-Derating and Correction Factors #
Derating is applied automatically based on parameters such as ambient temperature, cable grouping, and installation method. It eliminates manual lookup tables and reduces risk of oversight. These derating factors for cables also ensure that the selected cable can carry the rated current under the specified environmental conditions.
Multi-Load Circuit Support #
Configure multiple loads on a single circuit to reflect realistic load profiles. This enables optimised cable sizing based on aggregate current and distribution demand.
Dynamic Single Line Diagrams (SLDs) #
Generate SLDs that automatically reflect current project inputs, streamlining system documentation and reducing time spent on manual drafting.
Customisable Reports and Documentation #
Export cable schedules, SLDs, and calculation reports tailored to project requirements. Outputs are formatted for clarity, compliance, and presentation to stakeholders or regulatory bodies.
Flexible Export Options (PDF) #
Easily export all calculation results and documentation in PDF format for record-keeping, collaboration, or submission.
CableHero’s mission is to simply complex design tasks while ensuring professional and regulatory standards. In short, it’s a go-to solution for electrical design precision and cable size calculator in Australia.
