The software includes a detailed library of soil types (dry sand, wet clay, concrete, thermal backfill) and allows you to model seasonal variations in ambient temperature, solar radiation, and rain cooling for direct buried cables.

Cableizer’s multi-segment route capability allowed the engineer to isolate this bottleneck. By running a sensitivity analysis, they determined that replacing just the backfill at the bottleneck would increase the overall route rating by 18% – a fix that saved millions in avoided cable replacement costs.

Connect with IoT sensors (DTS - Distributed Temperature Sensing) to provide real-time ampacity updates.

When a fault occurs, cables experience extreme adiabatic heating. Cableizer computes the permissible short-circuit current (Isc) for durations from milliseconds to 5 seconds, following IEC 60986 and IEC 60092-350. This ensures your protection devices (breakers, fuses) trip before the insulation melts.

Cableizer is a specialized software tool designed specifically for cable and wire harness design. Developed by a team of experts with extensive experience in the electrical engineering industry, Cableizer aims to simplify the design process, reduce errors, and improve collaboration between teams. The software provides a comprehensive set of features and tools that enable users to create, simulate, and optimize cable and wire harness designs with ease.

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.

The primary competitors in the cable rating market include desktop applications like and the now-discontinued GridCableMax , as well as integrated power system suites like ETAP .

Determining how much current a cable can safely carry (ampacity or rated current) is critical for preventing thermal degradation. Cableizer features advanced modules that handle:

: Features an integrated editor to add user-defined material factors for unique insulating jackets or metal alloys. Thermal and Ampacity Simulation

: Calculates real-time system metrics including cable mass, heat of combustion, total asset pricing, and project CO2cap C cap O sub 2 footprint.

Beyond internal ratings, Cableizer evaluates external factors such as magnetic field distributions and ground temperature increases. Advanced Modeling Capabilities

A flagship feature, Cableizer is the only software on the market able to calculate the current rating for up to 6 different, unequally loaded cable systems in ventilated tunnels . The method used is an original development by the Cableizer team, presented at the Jicable conference in Paris.

Real-world cable laying is rarely simple. Cableizer excels at modeling: with various backfill materials.

Cableizer’s lower ampacity aligns closely with field measurements, as it models localized dry-out zones around the duct bank, which legacy software ignores.
