Hybrid power systems
Coordinated solar PV, BESS and diesel-generation solutions for dependable energy supply.
ABOUT CABLEMETRIC
Engineering clarity for every
cable-sizing decision.
CableMetric is a live cable-sizing tool designed to help electrical engineers prepare clearer calculations and reports while working to AS/NZS cable-sizing and installation requirements.
A better way to prepare compliant cable calculations.
CableMetric was built to make everyday cable-sizing work more efficient: faster calculations, more structured reports and fewer avoidable manual steps for electrical-design teams.
Built for practical design work
Focused on accurate cable-sizing workflows aligned with AS/NZS 3008 and AS/NZS 3000 requirements.
