What it can do
| Tool | What it says it does |
|---|---|
awg_metric | AWG / kcmil against IEC 60228 mm², both ways, by area and by maximum resistance at 20 °C (4/0 AWG is not 95 mm²), each size with its resistance and source (NEC Chapter 9 Table 8, UL 1581 Table 30.3, IEC 60228:2004 Table 2); with k, the ICEA insulation constant K (MΩ·1000 ft at 15.6 °C) in MΩ·km… |
burial_depth | The minimum burial cover for a power cable by country, voltage and location (open ground, road, pavement; direct or in a raceway for the US and Australia), from the rule the site holds for that country (national rules, HD 603 / HD 620 parts, NEC 2026 Tables 300.7(A) and 305.15(A), IS 1255), with… |
cable_prep | Prepare the end of an LV, MV or HV power cable for its termination or joint.

check_cable | Check a power cable against a standard's nominal rules: a designation with size and voltage, a designer design, or the construction a maker's datasheet or tender offer states (layers with nominal and minimum thicknesses, screen and armour data).

cold_weather_check | The Pro cold-weather check: the long-term mean daily minimum and mean temperature of a place in a month (NASA POWER monthly data of the place's grid cell, GeoNames places, a stored table: no outside call) against the design's minimum laying temperature with its source, and a verdict: comfortable… |
commissioning_sheet | The Pro commissioning sheet for a design: the tests after installation of its voltage (the rows of design_cable after_installation, IEC 60502-2 clause 20, IEC 60840, IEC 62067, HD 620, BS, IEEE 400.2), each with its voltage, duration and source, as a PDF with fields to record the results. A… |
conduit_fill | NEC Chapter 9 conduit fill: the smallest trade size of a raceway type (EMT, IMC, RMC, PVC, ENT, FMC, LFNC, LFMC, HDPE ...) that holds a list of conductors or cables, their areas from Tables 5, 5A and 8 (or a cable by its diameter) against Table 1's 53 / 31 / 40 % (60 % for a nipple), with the fill… |
decode_cable_code | Decode a cable type designation (DIN VDE, HAR, BS/IEC, NEC, TS, UTE, CEI-UNEL and 63 more of its 70 coding systems, plus LAN and fibre) into its layers: conductor, insulation, screen, armour, sheath, with the source behind each symbol. Deterministic, no LLM. |
degassing_time | The Pro degassing estimate (research/degassing/PLAN.md): how many days an XLPE core stays in the oven until a share of its crosslinking by-product is left, by Fick diffusion with published coefficients (Polymers 11 (2019) 1439; the methane D0 and Ea of IEEE PES T&D 2016 as quoted there; Electric… |
design_cable | Design and size a cable (power, control, LAN, coaxial, fibre) from a sentence (any site language, e.g. "3-core collective screen 12/20 kV 3x95/25 Al, longitudinally watertight") or a spec: every layer's thickness with its source (IEC 60502, HD 603 / 620, BS, EN 50525, NEC / UL and more; IEC… |
design_presets | List what the cable designer builds, before calling design_cable: presets[] (power, MV, HV, North American, building wire, cords, control, LAN, coaxial, fibre), each with its id, standard, the sentence that builds it in design_cable, its designation (name), voltage, cores, section and metal; and… |
drum_fit | Which cable drum (reel) a length of cable needs, or how much one drum takes: whole layers and whole turns wound nested (each turn in the groove of the layer below, layers rising 0.866 dc) on a wound diameter of 1.05 x OD with a freeboard under the flange rim; cable makers' own capacity tables… |
drum_loading | The drum page's loading planner: how many vehicles of a type (box trailer, curtain-sider, open top, flat rack, containers, platform, rigid truck, or a custom box in full mode) a number of drums needs, by space and by payload, the rows and positions, chocks and bedding, the securing (wedges… |
economic_size | The Pro economic size (the IEC 60287-3-2 method): the energy lost a year in this size and one and two sizes up, its present cost over the years, and the discounted payback of the larger size where its extra cost is given, each step with its formula and source. Always paid: the site shows it to… |
equivalence_report | The Pro equivalence report (server/pro/equivalence.ts, as a member downloads it under the equivalents panel): an IEC power cable in mm² against its North American counterpart in the same role (low voltage: XHHW-2 or USE-2 / RHW-2 (UL 44) or THHN / THWN-2 (UL 83) at the smallest AWG / kcmil size… |
extract_datasheet | Read a power cable datasheet (a maker PDF, an https link to one, or pasted datasheet or tender text) into constructions: every cable size it states with voltage, cores, conductor, each layer with its nominal and smallest thickness, screen and armour data, diameters and the claimed standards, each… |
find_equivalents | Find the equivalents of a power cable in other countries' standards ("the Dutch equivalent of this Swedish cable"): the decoded cable is rebuilt under each target rule set (IEC 60502, HD 603, HD 620 sections J/M/D/C/K, BS 5467/6724/7846/6622, EN 50618, HD 627) with the same conductor, section… |
fire_class | The lowest fire class or listing a country asks for in a kind of building or space (escape route, general area, high-rise, tunnel, hospital, data centre, plenum, riser, railway) for DE, ES, FR, GB, IT, TR and US: the rule lines with their sources and seen levels, makers' declarations marked as… |
iec60287_rating | The Enterprise IEC 60287 calculation: the continuous current rating of one circuit of three single cores of a medium or high voltage design, in trefoil or flat, buried direct, in buried ducts (one cable in each) or in free air, bonded at both ends, single-point or cross-bonded, at the site… |
mv_electrical | The Pro electrical values of a medium or high voltage design: capacitance, charging current, inductive reactance in trefoil and flat, a.c. resistance with the skin and proximity effects (IEC 60287-1-1), dielectric loss and the impulse levels (IEC 60502-2), every value with its source; what no… |
overhead_conductor | Look up a bare overhead line conductor (AAC, AAAC, ACSR, ACSR/AW: aluminium or alloy wires, with or without a zinc coated or aluminium-clad steel core): send its code, e.g. "242-AL1/39-ST1A" (EN 50182:2001 4.5) or an ACSS code "401-AL0/28-MEHST" (FprEN 50540 clause 4), or an EN 50182 Annex F… |
pull_cable | The designer's pull calculation on a route of straights and bends (a conduit or rollers): the tension out of each segment pulled from either end, the sidewall bearing pressure at each bend, the jam ratio, clearance and fill, against the allowable tension and pressure with their sources (makers'… |
read_tender | Read a project or tender document (a purchase or project specification, a tender volume, a GTP / data schedule; a PDF of up to 80 pages and 20 MB, or its text) and answer what it asks for: every cable it lists built as a design by the designer's rules and checked against its rule set, the required… |
tray_fill | The NEC cable tray fill (392.22, Tables 392.22(A)(1), (A)(5), (A)(6), (B)(1)) and the ampacity of each cable in the tray (392.80), for 2000 V and below and Type MV: the fill against the allowable area or width, pass or fail, and each cable's derated ampacity with its table. For a conduit or other… |
write_specification | Write the cable specification for a tender: one cable, or a project of up to 30 cables, each as design_cable takes it (a sentence, a bare designation, a spec or a design), plus the project's requirements (rodent, termite, UV, cold, oil, watertightness, fire, armour and more, each with the… |
