On Tuesday, December 9th, 2025, Batt Cables, a prominent distributor of electrical cables and accessories in the UK, announced the launch of their new Cable Calculator. This powerful online tool is designed to assist engineers, contractors, and specifiers in selecting the correct cable quickly, accurately, and in compliance with industry standards.
As electrical systems become more complex and regulations more stringent, the importance of choosing the right cable type and size cannot be overstated. The Cable Calculator from Batt Cables provides users with an intuitive and efficient way to determine the most suitable cable for their project, taking into account installation conditions, load requirements, and environmental factors.
A Comprehensive Solution for Cable Selection
The Cable Calculator guides users through a simple step-by-step process, considering various factors such as installation method, cable type, conductor material, ambient temperature, load current, voltage drop, correction factors, and derating. Based on this information, the tool then recommends a specific cable size and specification that meets relevant regulations and industry best practices. This makes it a valuable resource for electrical engineers, designers, consultants, wholesalers, and on-site installers working on domestic, commercial, industrial, and infrastructure projects.
Empowering Informed Decision-Making
Developed with the aim of enhancing the customer experience and reducing the risk of incorrect specification, the Cable Calculator reflects Batt Cables’ commitment to providing reliable and accessible technical resources to the industry. Chris Coxon, Marketing Director at Batt Cables, stated, “Cable selection is a critical aspect of any electrical project, but it can also be time-consuming. Our new Cable Calculator streamlines this process, offering users fast and accurate recommendations that align with recognized industry standards. This tool is part of our wider mission to support safe, compliant, and cost-effective electrical design.”
Part of a Growing Suite of Digital Tools
The Cable Calculator complements Batt Cables’ extensive online product library and technical resources, providing customers with the information they need at their fingertips. Users can easily access product details, datasheets, and support directly through the Batt Cables website.
