Upgrade from Draka's CableApp: Calculate Easily and Accurately according to NEN1010:2024
When designing electrical installations, precision is important. To support installers, engineers and designers in this, Draka has upgraded its popular CableApp. This new version makes it possible to easily and accurately calculate the voltage drop and the maximum length to be secured according to the NEN1010:2024. This enables installers to deliver installations of a higher quality level together with clients.
Why this upgrade is essential for you
The electricity grid is under pressure. Overload (congestion) and declining grid quality cause malfunctions, voltage increases and even failure of, for example, solar panels. An accurate calculation of voltage loss is therefore not a luxury, but a necessity. The renewed CableApp helps you with this and offers concrete advantages:
- Current voltage loss calculations: Immediately visible and in accordance with the latest NEN1010:2024 standards.
- Maximum length to be secured: Automatic alignment with NEN1010 sub-section 411.3 for optimum short-circuit resistance.
- Tailor-made advice on cable selection based on your project needs.
Practical benefits of the new CableApp
With the upgraded CableApp you work more efficiently and smarter. The app takes into account the reality in the workplace and prevents common pitfalls.
- Safety guaranteed: The CableApp calculates beyond the standard tables in NEN1010 Appendix 53.F, so that longer cable routes remain short-circuit proof without unnecessary weighting.
- Accurate voltage drop calculation: The NEN1010 standard prescribes a maximum voltage drop of 5%, but the CableApp works with 3% per sub-route by default, so that there is room for up and down current routes. This prevents failure of, for example, PV inverters.
Your responsibility as an installer
It is up to you to correctly calculate and document voltage losses. This prevents rejects, malfunctions and inefficient installations. The CableApp gives you the tools to do this quickly and accurately, so that you and your client realize a top-quality installation.
Draka Helpdesk Tip
For connections with large powers over short distances, it is crucial to accurately calculate how low the actual voltage drop actually is. This prevents unnecessarily heavy cables and helps to optimize connecting power routes.
Below you will find a handy overview of the Draka Helpdesk. This overview serves as an indication and support in determining the maximum voltage loss that must be calculated. It helps you make the right choices based on the applicable standards and guidelines, so that you can achieve a reliable and efficient electrical installation.
