The UK’s top distributor of electrical cables and accessories, Batt Cables, has recently announced the launch of its revolutionary new online tool, the Cable Calculator. Developed to assist engineers, contractors, and specifiers in selecting the correct cable for their projects, the Cable Calculator promises to streamline the process and ensure full compliance with industry standards.
As electrical systems become increasingly complex and regulations more stringent, the importance of choosing the correct cable type and size has never been greater. The Cable Calculator from Batt Cables aims to simplify this process for its users by providing a fast and intuitive way to determine the appropriate cable based on installation conditions, load requirements, and environmental factors.
A Step-by-Step Process for Accurate Results
The Cable Calculator guides users through a simple step-by-step process, taking into account various factors such as installation method, cable type, conductor material, ambient temperature, load current, and voltage drop. It also considers correction factors and derating, providing a recommended cable size and specification that is in line with relevant regulations and best practices. This makes it an ideal tool for electrical engineers, designers, consultants, wholesalers, and on-site installers working across a wide range of projects, including domestic, commercial, industrial, and infrastructure.
Supporting Smarter Decision-Making
Batt Cables’ Cable Calculator has been developed with the aim of enhancing the customer experience and reducing the risk of incorrect specification. This reflects the company’s commitment to supporting the industry with reliable and accessible technical resources. Chris Coxon, Marketing Director at Batt Cables, commented: “Cable selection is a critical part of any electrical project, but it can also be time-consuming. Our new Cable Calculator streamlines the process, offering users fast, accurate recommendations that align with recognised industry standards. This tool forms part of our wider mission to support safe, compliant, and cost-effective electrical design.”

The Cable Calculator is just one of the many digital tools offered by Batt Cables to provide customers with the information they need at their fingertips. It complements the company’s extensive online product library and technical resources, allowing users to access product details, datasheets, and support directly through the Batt Cables website. With over 3,600 SKUs in stock and a dedicated technical team, Batt Cables continues to invest in digital innovation and customer support tools that help simplify project planning and procurement.
