### sample cables

We offer you a library with more than 100 sample cables, ranging from 1 to 400 kV, single-core, three-core, with armour, etc. All based on standards such as VDE, IEC and HD.

You can store as many cables and project as you like. The search filters let you find them quickly.

## Modelling and Calculations

### model cables

Cableizer uses sofisticated code to visualize the cable in a 2D and 3D model and updates instantly after changes in the editor.

### cables in air

All options offered by IEC can be used, plus cables in pipes and grouped cables with solar radiation.

Additionally, a solar calculator with google earth integration is available.

### buried cables

You can create laying arrangements made out of multiple cable systems of different cables, all having different frequencies and loading, plus multiple heat sources and sinks at the same time. You can also use rectangular duct banks and backfills of any size and drying-out of soil with multiple systems.

Additionally, a soil temperature calculator is available.

### temperature field

You can calculate the temperature distribution in the soil and show the increase in temperature due to power cables or heat sources/sinks.

You can define the temperature range manually.

### magnetic fields

You can calculate the magnetic field of multi-frequency systems, set the load flow or a phase-shift for each system. The output is in brilliant 2D isolines and in 1D lines above ground.

### multiple cable crossings

You can calculate the crossing at any angle of one or multiple cable systems with one or multiple other cable systems or heat sources.

The calculation method is based on IEC 60287-3-3 but much extended. Cableizer is the only software that can calculate multiple crossings.

### short-circuit currents

The short-circuit rating of any current carrying component of a cable - conductor, screen, sheath and armour - is calculated according to the standard IEC 949, taking into account non-adiabatic heating effects.

Initial temperature is taken from the ampacity calculation results directly to ensure worst-case scenario.

### soil temperature calculator

The soil temperature calculator helps you to estimate the ambient soil temperature at a particular lying depth and day of year. In climates with distinct seasons one observes temperature changes in the uppermost soil meters. The upper soil layers are heated in the summer, while the deeper layers are still cold and while the heat propagates downwards, air temperatures are already dropping again.

### solar radiation calculator

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. The calculations assume clear weather conditions and assume that the location is not shaded. Enter the latitude and altitude of the location or select the values directly from google maps.

You are free to use the calculator to evaluate your next summer vacation destination.

### weight of cable

The cable editor calculates the total weight of the cable per meter. The weight of the metallic parts such as copper, aluminium and steel are shown as well as the weight of the 'empty' hollow cable.

This gives input for

• cable pulling calculation
• total weight of drums for transportation studies
• estimation of cost of cable

### heat of combustion

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 automatically for each cable.

The heat energy content is calculated as a product of the mass per meter and the heat of combustion value per kg for all non-metallic materials. Cableizer separately calculates the heat energy content for the insulation, screen bedding, screen serving, filler, and jacket of your cable.

### cable pulling

A cable damaged during installation can cause service failures. Mechanical stress during installation is generally more severe than those encountered while in service. With the help of Cableizer, you can prevent problems by calculating the maximum allowable pulling tension for any installation.

Calculations should be made to indicate whether the pull looks easy or impossible, making the decision to pull an obvious choice. With Cableizer you can easily model the cable route with sections, slopes, bends and cable pushers including a fantastic 2D and 3D preview.

### load factor

The Load Factor Calculator is a tool that calculates the squared ratio between the average power $D_{average}$ and the maximum demand $D_{max}$ in a period of time.

$$LF=\frac{D_{average}}{D_{max}}=\frac{I}{D_{max}} \frac{\sum\limits_{t=0}^T D(t)dt}{T}$$

It is used for cyclic loading calculations acc. to Neher McGrath. With a subscrition you can even calculate the loss factor μ from your load profile and use it for transient calculations acc. IEC 60853

We offer the Load Factor Calculator for free! Happy simulating !

### loss factor

The Loss Factor Calculator is a tool that calculates the ratio between the average power losses $L_{average}$ and the losses during peak load $L_{max}$, in a period of the time. In other words, the loss factor is simply the load factor of the losses.

$$\mu=\frac{L_{average}}{L_{max}}=\frac{I}{L_{max}} \frac{\int\limits_{t=0}^T L(t)dt}{T}$$

It is used for cyclic loading calculations acc. to IEC 60853. You need a subscrition to calculate the loss factor $μ$.

### cyclic and emergency calculation

You can calculate the cyclic load acc. to IEC 60853-2

As well as the emergency load (including graph)

### equations

Equations can be included in the calculation reports and the cable datasheets. Where multiple cases with different formulas exist for a certain parameter, the software always takes the exact formula which was used for the specific system and cable.

We don't use pictures, we actually write the correct and complete formula. For all steps!

### get comprehensive reports

The simulation results are being displayed online and you are free to download them as high-end PDF. The results include all input parameters necessary to setup the study and all the main output data.

Reports are adjustable:

• show/hide equations
• include electrical parameters
• with short circuit current calculations
• don't show warnings
• show all parameters or make it short
• include/exclude cable data sheets in report

Missing data on the report? All parameters and results used by the database can be printed, just let us know!
