The solar radiation calculator is a tool that estimates the intensity of solar radiation for a given day and a given place depending on its location and altitude.

Embodied energy and carbon
Embodied energy and carbon

Posted on 2018-06-08
In order to reduce the carbon footprint it is important that we account for the energy that is embodied in the materials that we use. With Cableizer you can calculate the embodied energy and...

Heat of Combustion
Heat of Combustion

Posted on 2018-03-22
The gross heat of combustion value - also known as energy value or calorific value - is used to quantify the energy content of a cable in case of a fire. Cableizer calculates the value...

Considerations for cable laying
Considerations for cable laying

Posted on 2018-02-27
The service reliability of a cable systems depends not only on the quality of the cable itself, but also to a large extent on the methods used and the care taken in laying the cable. In this blog...

Two phase concentric cables
Two phase concentric cables

Posted on 2018-01-21
A concentric cable has a conductor around the core for a return path. DC cables may be of concentric type as is the case in an integrated return conductor cable, where the return conductor is...

Posted on 2018-01-20
With the web-based cable calculation software Cableizer.com you can calculate the current rating of cables crossing external heat sources. It allows to calculate the current rating or temperatures...

A new approach for the next generation of Superchargers
A new approach for the next generation of Superchargers

Posted on 2017-01-14
DC Fast Chargers are designed to charge electric vehicles quickly with an electric output ranging between 50 kW – 120 kW, like the Supercharger from Tesla. At a typical 400 volts, this results in...

Two armour layers with separation
Two armour layers with separation

Posted on 2016-09-02
Calculating the ampacity of a cable system correctly starts with the precise modeling of the cable. The user shall be able to model a cable as close to reality as possible, visually, electrically...

Cyclic loading with daily, weekly, and yearly load factors
Cyclic loading with daily, weekly, and yearly load factors

Posted on 2016-08-16
Using the Neher McGrath method for the calculation of the rating of buried cables under cyclic loading conditions allows for a daily, weekly, and yearly load factor in the same calculation.

Variation of spacing between sheath bonding points
Variation of spacing between sheath bonding points

Posted on 2016-07-03
For single-core cable circuits with sheaths solidly bonded at both ends and possibly at intermediate points, the circulating currents and the resulting losses increase as the spacing increases,...

Magnetic field with phase splitting
Magnetic field with phase splitting

Posted on 2016-06-26
Phase splitting can be used to drastically reduce the magnetic fields of buried power cables. Also, the conductor cross-section can be less than half because the current is only half per split...
