About Cable High Voltage

Cable High Voltage is a cable product from Electrotechnik that is designed for high voltage applications. It provides insulation, conductivity, and durability so that it can effectively transmit electricity in demanding environments. This cable is suitable for use in power distribution, industrial plants, and renewable energy systems. It is manufactured to meet rigorous safety standards, ensuring reliable performance even under extreme conditions. Key capabilities: high insulation resistance temperature stability corrosion resistance flexibility UV protection Best for: electrical engineers and contractors that need reliable high voltage cabling solutions.

Cable High Voltage (Cable HV) from Electrotechnik is a specialist cable-rating and ampacity calculator for designers working with medium- and high-voltage power cables. Its core purpose is to model custom cable constructions and compute steady-state and transient current ratings across AC and DC systems using industry methods (IEC 60287, IEC 60853 and Neher–McGrath) — with validation against recent CIGRE guidance. The package targets utilities, OEMs, contractors and consultants who need precise, site-specific ampacity data rather than generic tabulated values. The product exposes a purpose-built Cable Editor that walks users through layer-by-layer cable construction (conductor, shields, insulation, bedding, armour, sheath, etc.) and installation parameters (air/buried/in-duct, soil resistivity, ambient temperatures). The editor uses guided forms, previews and stepwise inputs so modelling a custom cable is largely form-driven rather than freehand, which shortens the onboarding curve for engineers familiar with cable datasheets. Electrotechnik supplements the UI with comprehensive tutorial PDFs and a public tutorial/video playlist to help users model complex constructions and validate results.

Features

Key features

Finite Element Method (FEM) Module

This feature allows for the most accurate current rating calculations by going beyond the limitations of standard IEC methods, including modeling multiple zones of soil with different thermal resistivity.

Custom Cable Modeling

Users can easily build custom cable models based on their specific construction details or use a database of pre-built cables, offering great flexibility for unique projects.

Live Calculations

The software provides instant results for changes in installation parameters, which saves a significant amount of time by eliminating the need to re-run calculations.

Advanced Soil Drying

It provides advanced calculations for soil drying, including multiple circuits and installations in backfill, which is crucial for accurate ratings in buried cable scenarios.

Comprehensive Reporting

The software generates detailed, easy-to-understand reports in both PDF and Microsoft Excel formats, with the option to add a company logo.

Variety of Installation Methods

It supports a wide range of installation methods, including in air, in groups, direct buried, in ducts, in backfill, unfilled troughs, ventilated tunnels, and submarine installations.

Additional features

Multiple Circuits Crossing Module

Calculates derating for multiple cable circuits or heat pipes crossing at various angles.

Randomly Filled Cable Trays

Provides ratings for cables installed in bundles in cable trays.

Sequence Impedances

Automatically calculates positive, negative, and zero-sequence impedances.

Armour Loss

Calculates armour loss to CIGRE TB 908.

HVDC Cable Ratings

Offers ratings for high-voltage DC cables.

Submarine Installations

Supports calculations for cables installed in water, partially buried, or fully buried.

Finite Element Method (FEM)

A highly accurate method for complex installations, including multiple backfills and different soil zones.

Graphical Cable Modeling

A user-friendly interface for building custom cable models.

Advanced Reporting

Generates detailed reports in PDF and Microsoft Excel formats.

Units

Supports both metric and imperial units.
