WireCalc Pro: The Ultimate Electrical Calculator for Wire Cross-Section Estimation and Advanced Tools
Product Description:
WireCalc Pro is more than just a calculator; it's your digital professional assistant for designing, installing, and maintaining electrical systems. This application was developed specifically for electrical engineers, technicians, and contractors who require extreme accuracy and speed in their daily calculations to ensure the highest safety standards and prevent power outages.
🔥 Key Feature: Precise Wire and Cable Cross-Section Calculation
Say goodbye to guesswork and traditional tables! WireCalc Pro allows you to determine the optimal cable and wire cross-section based on a comprehensive set of factors:
System Types: Full support for single-phase and three-phase circuits.
Overcurrent Protection: Accurate calculation of expected short-circuit current and selection of appropriate circuit breakers.
Correction Factors: The application takes into account current-capacity correction factors such as:
Ambient temperature and insulation type (PVC, XLPE, etc.).
Installation method (pipes, trenches, direct overhead, or underground).
Cable bundling and neighboring effects.
Voltage Drop Limiting: Accurate calculation of voltage drop to ensure it remains within the limits permitted by international standards (such as NEC, IEC), thus maintaining equipment efficiency.
