Earthing Conductor Sizing Calculator
Size an earthing/protective conductor from prospective fault current and disconnection time, using the IEC 60364-5-54 adiabatic equation (S = I x sqrt(t) / k). Pick a material/insulation preset instead of having to already know the k constant, and get the result rounded to the nearest standard IEC 60228 conductor size. Runs entirely in your browser.
