All the Installation Methods
Cable current rating calculations in custom arrangements for your site specific conditions.
Complies with Standard IEC Standards 60287 and 60853.
In Air and Groups in Air
Unenclosed - exposed to sun or shaded. Enclosed in ducts. Groups of multi-core or single core cables. Adjust ambient air temperature.
Bonding Arrangements
Considers cable screen/sheath/armour circulating and eddy current losses. Solid, single-point or cross-bonded earthing arrangements.
Direct Buried or In Ducts
Equally or unequally loaded multiple buried circuits in any custom arrangement of any cable type. Soil dry-out around cables.
Buried in Thermal Backfill
Multiple custom cable arrangements buried direct or in ducts in thermal backfill. Soil temperature plots.

Major Features Include
Save 30% from buying the each item separately
Add-on Modules
Powerful add-on modules which dramatically extend the capability.
Emergency and Cyclic Ratings
Transient rating calculations to Standard IEC 60853 and Neher-McGrath methods.
Short-circuit Ratings
Adiabatic and non-adiabatic short-circuit ratings for metallic components of custom cables.
Magnetic Fields
Magnetic field intensity in micro Tesla at any height above the ground for any arrangement of buried or in air cables.
Multiple Crossings
Calculate derating to IEC 60287-3-3 for one or multiple cable circuits or heat pipes crossing at any angles.
Unfilled Troughs
Cables ratings for cables installed in unfilled cable troughs where the trough is buried and covered on all sides up to ground level.
Randomly filled cable trays
Ratings for cables installed in bundles in cable trays with options for fire-rated insulation, cable tray covers, custom diversity and solar radiation.
Ventilated Tunnels
Calculates current ratings for multiple circuits installed inside custom tunnels with ventilation to IEC 60287-2-3.
Finite Element Method Module
FEM is the most accurate method for cable current rating calculations.
Capabilities beyond IEC60287
Installation methods which can be modelled in FEM includes: any combination of direct buried, multiple backfills, filled troughs and multiple cable circuits.
Accurate buried cable ratings
The IEC standards assume an isothermal (ideal) ground surface whereas FEM considers convection leading to more accurate ratings.
Multiple backfills
Model areas with different thermal resistivity including multiple separated backfills or zones of soil with different thermal resistivity.
Automatic meshing
The FEM algorithm automatically meshes the environment as well as all cable components for high accuracy node temperature calculations.


Graphical Cable Modelling
Very easily build custom cable models based on their construction.
Custom Cable Models
Using the datasheet or manufacturers catalog easily build cable models for custom rating calculations.
Database of Pre-built Cables
Includes hundreds of pre-modelled cables from LV up to any AC voltage, and DC cables.
Multiple Cable Types
Single core or multi-core, DC, single phase or 3 phases. Copper or aluminium. Screened, sheathed or armoured cables.
Variable Frequency
Use for 50 Hz or 60 Hz systems and high frequency applications such as motor drives.
Advanced Reporting
Beautiful, comprehensive and easy to understand reports.
PDF Reports
Create full and detailed reports in PDF format.
Detailed Results
All the results from the losses and thermal resistance calculations.
Your Company Logo
Add your own company logo and custom fields to the reports.
Direct to Excel Reports
Reports can be generated directly into Microsoft Excel files.
