What it can do

Tool names and descriptions exactly as the server reported them on Nov 6, 2026. The maker wrote them, not us; we show them as plain text.

• decode_cable_code

  Decode a cable type designation (DIN VDE, HAR, BS/IEC, NEC, TS, UTE, CEI-UNEL and 62 more of its 69 coding systems, plus LAN and fibre) into its layers: conductor, insulation, screen, armour, sheath, with the source behind each symbol. Deterministic, no LLM.

• design_cable

  Design and size a cable (power, control, LAN, coaxial, fibre) from a sentence (any site language, e.g. "3-core collective screen 12/20 kV 3x95/25 Al, longitudinally watertight") or a spec: every layer's thickness with its source (IEC 60502, HD 603 / 620, BS, EN 50525, NEC / UL an

• find_equivalents

  Find the equivalents of a power cable in other countries' standards ("the Dutch equivalent of this Swedish cable"): the decoded cable is rebuilt under each target rule set (IEC 60502, HD 603, HD 620 sections J/M/D/C/K, BS 5467/6724/7846/6622, EN 50618, HD 627) with the same condu

• overhead_conductor

  Look up a bare overhead line conductor (AAC, AAAC, ACSR, ACSR/AW: aluminium or alloy wires, with or without a zinc coated or aluminium-clad steel core): send its code, e.g. "242-AL1/39-ST1A" (EN 50182:2001 4.5) or an ACSS code "401-AL0/28-MEHST" (FprEN 50540 clause 4), or an EN 5

• check_cable

  Check a power cable against a standard's nominal rules: a designation with size and voltage, a designer design, or the construction a maker's datasheet or tender offer states (layers with nominal and minimum thicknesses, screen and armour data). Rule sets: IEC 60502-1 / -2, IEC 6

• extract_datasheet

  Read a power cable datasheet (a maker PDF, an https link to one, or pasted datasheet or tender text) into constructions: every cable size it states with voltage, cores, conductor, each layer with its nominal and smallest thickness, screen and armour data, diameters and the claime

• read_tender

  Read a project or tender document (a purchase or project specification, a tender volume, a GTP / data schedule; a PDF of up to 80 pages and 20 MB, or its text) and answer what it asks for: every cable it lists built as a design by the designer's rules and checked against its rule

• write_specification

  Write the cable specification for a tender: one cable, or a project of up to 30 cables, each as design_cable takes it (a sentence, a bare designation, a spec or a design), plus the project's requirements (rodent, termite, UV, cold, oil, watertightness, fire, armour and more, each

• design_presets

  List what the cable designer builds, before calling design_cable: presets[] (power, MV, HV, North American, building wire, cords, control, LAN, coaxial, fibre), each with its id, standard, the sentence that builds it in design_cable, its designation (name), voltage, cores, sectio

• drum_fit

  Which cable drum (reel) a length of cable needs, or how much one drum takes: whole layers and whole turns wound nested (each turn in the groove of the layer below, layers rising 0.866 dc) on a wound diameter of 1.05 x OD with a freeboard under the flange rim; cable makers' own ca

• burial_depth

  The minimum burial cover for a power cable by country, voltage and location (open ground, road, pavement; direct or in a raceway for the US and Australia), from the rule the site holds for that country (national rules, HD 603 / HD 620 parts, NEC 2026 Tables 300.7(A) and 305.15(A)

• fire_class

  The lowest fire class or listing a country asks for in a kind of building or space (escape route, general area, high-rise, tunnel, hospital, data centre, plenum, riser, railway) for DE, ES, FR, GB, IT, TR and US: the rule lines with their sources and seen levels, makers' declarat

• awg_metric

  AWG / kcmil against IEC 60228 mm², both ways, by area and by maximum resistance at 20 °C (4/0 AWG is not 95 mm²), each size with its resistance and source (NEC Chapter 9 Table 8, UL 1581 Table 30.3, IEC 60228:2004 Table 2); with k, the ICEA insulation constant K (MΩ·1000 ft at 15

• conduit_fill

  NEC Chapter 9 conduit fill: the smallest trade size of a raceway type (EMT, IMC, RMC, PVC, ENT, FMC, LFNC, LFMC, HDPE ...) that holds a list of conductors or cables, their areas from Tables 5, 5A and 8 (or a cable by its diameter) against Table 1's 53 / 31 / 40 % (60 % for a nipp

• pull_cable

  The designer's pull calculation on a route of straights and bends (a conduit or rollers): the tension out of each segment pulled from either end, the sidewall bearing pressure at each bend, the jam ratio, clearance and fill, against the allowable tension and pressure with their s

• tray_fill

  The NEC cable tray fill (392.22, Tables 392.22(A)(1), (A)(5), (A)(6), (B)(1)) and the ampacity of each cable in the tray (392.80), for 2000 V and below and Type MV: the fill against the allowable area or width, pass or fail, and each cable's derated ampacity with its table. For a

• drum_loading

  The drum page's loading planner: how many vehicles of a type (box trailer, curtain-sider, open top, flat rack, containers, platform, rigid truck, or a custom box in full mode) a number of drums needs, by space and by payload, the rows and positions, chocks and bedding, the securi

• cold_weather_check

  The Pro cold-weather check: the long-term mean daily minimum and mean temperature of a place in a month (NASA POWER monthly data of the place's grid cell, GeoNames places, a stored table: no outside call) against the design's minimum laying temperature with its source, and a verd

• mv_electrical

  The Pro electrical values of a medium or high voltage design: capacitance, charging current, inductive reactance in trefoil and flat, a.c. resistance with the skin and proximity effects (IEC 60287-1-1), dielectric loss and the impulse levels (IEC 60502-2), every value with its so

• economic_size

  The Pro economic size (the IEC 60287-3-2 method): the energy lost a year in this size and one and two sizes up, its present cost over the years, and the discounted payback of the larger size where its extra cost is given, each step with its formula and source. Always paid: the si

• commissioning_sheet

  The Pro commissioning sheet for a design: the tests after installation of its voltage (the rows of design_cable after_installation, IEC 60502-2 clause 20, IEC 60840, IEC 62067, HD 620, BS, IEEE 400.2), each with its voltage, duration and source, as a PDF with fields to record the

• cable_prep

  Prepare the end of an LV, MV or HV power cable for its termination or joint. The answer (thecablecode.prep/v1): steps[], each cut with the design's own depth and the diameter left; the makers' cut-back lengths for this voltage and size (makers' published instructions, unnamed, se

• iec60287_rating

  The Enterprise IEC 60287 calculation: the continuous current rating of one circuit of three single cores of a medium or high voltage design, in trefoil or flat, buried direct, in buried ducts (one cable in each) or in free air, bonded at both ends, single-point or cross-bonded, a

• equivalence_report

  The Pro equivalence report (server/pro/equivalence.ts, as a member downloads it under the equivalents panel): an IEC power cable in mm² against its North American counterpart in the same role (low voltage: XHHW-2 or USE-2 / RHW-2 (UL 44) or THHN / THWN-2 (UL 83) at the smallest A
