Free calculation. No sign-in. No selector journey.
This public calculator does not recommend a manufacturer, catalogue item or equipment model. It sends declared inputs to the protected Adelphos calculation service and never falls back to browser arithmetic.
No account or Adelphos project is required. No HTML report is offered. The downloadable report is the Adelphos-branded PDF returned by the protected report service.
How does the Cable Sizing Calculator work?
Gather the design current, supply arrangement, route length, installation method, conductor type, correction factors, protective device, external earth-fault-loop impedance and CPC information from the design and site records.

Design information you need
Gather the design current, supply arrangement, route length, installation method, conductor type, correction factors, protective device, external earth-fault-loop impedance and CPC information from the design and site records.
Calculation result and PDF report
The result records a candidate conductor size with current capacity, voltage drop, earth-fault-loop, disconnection-time and CPC checks for responsible review against BS 7671. A successful calculation can also produce an Adelphos-branded PDF report.
Checks, limits and responsibility
This calculation is an aid, not a design approval. The user must verify every input, applicable standard, result and its suitability for the project.
How to use the Cable Sizing Calculator.
The calculation follows four clear stages: gather verified information, enter the design inputs, calculate, then review the returned checks and report.
1. Gather the source information
Gather the design current, supply arrangement, route length, installation method, conductor type, correction factors, protective device, external earth-fault-loop impedance and CPC information from the design and site records.
2. Enter the design inputs
Use consistent units and declare every required assumption. This calculator does not silently replace missing required values with convenient engineering defaults.
3. Run the protected calculation
Submit the form to the Adelphos calculation service. The calculation performs no fallback arithmetic in the browser and returns only the public result needed for review.
4. Check the result before use
The result records a candidate conductor size with current capacity, voltage drop, earth-fault-loop, disconnection-time and CPC checks for responsible review against BS 7671. Check the result against the coordinated design, current project requirements and competent-person review.

Cable Sizing Calculator questions and answers.
What cable size for a 9.5kw shower?
A 9.5 kW shower does not have one universally correct cable size. Enter the actual voltage, route length, installation method, grouping, ambient conditions, protective device and Ze so the BS 7671 engine can check current capacity, voltage drop, Zs, disconnection time and CPC requirements together.
What cable size for a 7kw ev charger?
A 7 kW EV charger cable must be sized from its real circuit conditions, not power alone. The calculation needs route length, installation method, correction factors, protective device, earthing data and permitted voltage drop before it can return a reviewable cable and CPC result.
How do i size a cable by amps?
Start with design current Ib, choose the protective device In, apply the relevant correction factors to obtain required tabulated capacity It, then check the proposed cable for voltage drop, earth-fault-loop impedance, disconnection time and CPC adequacy. The calculator records each of those steps.
