CableHero Overview #
CableHero is a modern, web-based cable sizing and electrical calculation platform designed to simplify complex design/calculation tasks while maintaining strict compliance with AS/NZS 3000 and AS/NZS 3008 standards. The tool facilitates accurate calculations for cable sizing, circuit breaker sizing, voltage drop and rise, and prospective short-circuit current (PSCC)
Full Design Tools for Real-World Projects #
Beyond its core functions, CableHero also includes VOC calculations, conduit sizing, single line diagrams and comprehensive installation planning. In this way, it is suitable for applications ranging from small commercial projects to large-scale conventional and renewable energy systems.
In addition to that, our advanced tool incorporates real-world variables such as installation method, ambient temperature, grouping, soil resistivity and temperature. It ensures that all cable selections align with safety, performance, and regulatory requirements.
Who Benefits from Using CableHero #
- Electrical engineers benefit from precise voltage drop and PSCC calculations that support compliant system layouts.
- Consultants can quickly validate multiple design scenarios to meet client specifications and industry standards.
- System designers streamline complex planning tasks using automated correction factors and derating logic.
- Students and trainees gain hands-on experience applying real-world standards like AS/NZS 3008. In this way, it helps bridge the gap between theory and field application.
