How It Works

One workflow from load to signed-off report

Start sizing cables, creating SLD drawings and calculating maximum demand in minutes. No complex setup required.

  1. 01

    Size

    Enter the load, run length and installation. The engine applies every derating table, checks voltage drop and fault loop impedance, and picks the smallest compliant cable.

  2. 02

    Draw

    Lay out the single line diagram, link each cable to its calculation, and let the schedule update itself as the design changes.

  3. 03

    Demand

    Build the maximum demand study with AS/NZS 3000 Appendix C diversity, per phase, and size the mains from it.
