Improvements made and defects fixed on the Cable Size Calculator
Hi Reader
Just letting you know.
I made a few small improvements and fixed defects on the Cable Size Calculator.
Improvements:
- Input: Added a voltage drop select list so you don't have to type.
- Input: Added more options to the voltage select list.
- Input: Units are now shown inside input fields instead of in the label.
- Results: In loop impedance, I added "installed distance" above "maximum distance" for easy comparison.
- Results: Improved layout when no suitable cable is found.
- Step-by-step calculations. Improved formulas and descriptions for loop impedance.
- Report: Updated heading with full standard title i.e. AS/NZS 3008.1.1:2017 Australian conditions or AS/NZS 3008.1.2:2017 New Zealand conditions.
- Report: Updated loop impedance descriptions.
Defects:
- Input: The "Spaced from Surface, Touching" allowed only 6 circuits instead of 9.
- Input: The voltage select list was cut off at the end on mobile phones.
- Input: The voltage input field for "Other" voltage did not display properly on mobile phones.
- Results: Earth fault at the load not displayed for generic protection.
- Report: The aluminium 110° degree Tricab cable reference did not fit on the report.
- Report: Special characters in PDF reports were incorrectly encoded, e.g. A & B showed as A & B.

Hi Reader Just letting you know. I have changed the mobile layout of the Maximum Demand Calculator. See the images below. I also made a few improvements and fixed some defects. Improvements I added kW ratings. You now have A, Watt and kW. I added 3-phase loads to Blocks of Living Units. I improved the descriptions for the default loads when you open the calculator the first time. I updated the example in the content below the calculator with more load groups and more detailed calculation...
Hi Reader I am just letting you know. I added electrode images to the Arc Flash Calculator. Plus a few other improvements. 1. Electrode images 2. Model limit validations I added the IEEE-1584 model limitations to the field validations, including voltage, conductor gap and enclosure size. For example: 2. Simplified equipment types I reduced and simplified the list of typical equipment types. They are used to prefill the working distance, conductor gap and enclosure dimensions with typical...
Hi Reader I am just letting you know. I made a few small improvements and fixed defects on the Cable Size Calculator. Improvements I added a confirmation window for the reset button. I added a warning for the user to raise the ambient temperature for cables installed in ceilings. I added step-by-step calculations for the phase and earth fault at load. I improved the step-by-step calculations for maximum earth loop distance. I added new content to explain maximum loop distance calculations. I...
