How to use the Adiabatic Calculator

Using this Adiabatic Equation Calculator couldn’t be any easier, just enter the voltage and Zs/Ze values, then select an option from the down down options.

  1. Enter the voltage to earth (Uo) value.
  2. Enter the circuit Zs or Ze value.
  3. Select a protective device.
  4. Select a device rating.
  5. Select a conductor type
  6. Select a conductor material.
  7. Tap calculate.

BS 7671 states, the cross-sectional area of each protective conductor, other than a protective bonding conductor, shall be:

  1. Calculated in accordance with regulation 543.1.3 or
  2. Selected in accordance with regulation 543.1.4

This Adiabatic Equation Calculator is designed to assist in satisfying option i. above.

Adiabatic Calculations

This calculator will calculate the following parameters,

  • Calculates I².
  • Calculates La (PEFC).
  • Calculates t (time).
  • Calculates cable k value.
  • Calculates the minimum required cable size csa in mm².

If a non-standard csa is calculated the next standard larger size shall be used.
