16 A over 50 m on 2.5 mm² copper: 14.2 V, 6.2 % — FAIL at 5 %.
16 A over 50 m on 2.5 mm² copper: 14.2 V, 6.2 % — FAIL at 5 %.

Pass or fail, not a bare number.

Every result is checked against the limit in your pack — NEN 1010, BS 7671, DIN VDE, NF C 15-100 or IEC typical — and the rule is cited under the number.

The working card: resistance, temperature, formula, numbers, percent, and what was not checked.

Shows the working.

Resistance at operating temperature, the formula, every input, and the list of what was not checked. A senior can audit a junior from the phone.

30 A on a 32 A breaker, method C, 20 m: 4 mm² with Iz 36 A and a 2.9 % drop — PASS on both gates.

Sizes the cable, both gates.

Iz after ambient, grouping and insulation factors, then voltage drop. It tells you which size was rejected and why.

Free is a real job. Pro is the app doing the lookup.

If you type it or pick it, it's free. If the app looks up a table or walks the sizes for you, it's Pro — €9.99, once.

A design aid, not the code book.

Here's exactly what the numbers are and what we don't check.
