Users can define cables layer by layer: from the conductor (Cu/Al, stranded/segmental/round), through conductor screen, insulation (XLPE, EPR, PILC), insulation screen, metallic sheath (wire screen, lead sheath, tape), armour (steel wire or tape), to the outer serving. The software automatically calculates thermal resistivities, dielectric losses, and sheath/armour factors.
Score: 8.5/10
Cableizer does not try to be a full power systems analysis suite (it does not do load flow or transient stability). Instead, it focuses on thermal modeling and ampacity, and it does this exceptionally well.
The bread and butter of any cable rating tool. Cableizer software computes the continuous current that a cable can carry without exceeding its maximum allowable conductor temperature (typically 90°C for XLPE or 250°C for short-circuits). It accounts for:
Cableizer operates on a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) model. While exact prices change, typical tiers are:
Compare this to a perpetual CYMCAP license ($8,000–$15,000 upfront plus 20% annual maintenance), and Cableizer is significantly cheaper for short-to-medium projects and even for long-term use if you value zero IT overhead.
At its core, Cableizer software is a specialized engineering application designed to compute the current rating of power cables according to the international standard IEC 60287 (and optionally IEC 60853 for cyclic/emergency ratings). Unlike generic simulation tools or cumbersome spreadsheet calculations, Cableizer is purpose-built for cable engineers, offering a streamlined, parameter-driven interface that handles everything from simple buried cables to complex multi-circuit, multi-layer backfill scenarios.
Developed to bridge the gap between academic precision and practical engineering, Cableizer is entirely cloud-based. This means no installations, no license servers to manage, and no version conflicts. You can access your projects from any device with a modern web browser, making collaboration and remote work seamless.
