DC Wire Sizer 1.2

Adding accessories such as bilge pumps, electronics, solar panels, and upgrading batteries this year? It's crucial to consider that the leading cause of Boat and RV fires is related to DC wiring issues. Undersized wires can lead to equipment damage or even fires. The top-rated DC Wire Sizer offers a solution by calculating the appropriate wire size for any DC voltage, especially useful for solar installations. It also allows you to save, edit, summarize, email, and export wire runs and materials for your electrical plans, wire purchases, work orders, and records. The Sizer Wizard feature ensures easy wire sizing for all users.

Efficient and secure wire sizing is essential for your next DC wiring project involving batteries, chargers, inverters, trolling motors, stereos, and more. This tool has been designed in collaboration with Marine Electronics Installers, Repair Services, Boat Builders, Surveyors, DIY enthusiasts, and Boat Owners.

The unique features of DC Wire Sizer include the ability to select any DC voltage up to 500 amps, displaying wire size, voltage drop (VD), and ampacity results. It offers detailed "What if" analysis based on wire sizes and lengths and provides multiple methods for entering wire lengths quickly.

The tool enables users to interact with wire runs effectively; saving them with all relevant details such as project names, wire type, color, source materials, and status. You can easily edit wire runs including parameters like length, amps/watts, max voltage drop, insulation type, and more.

In addition to these features, the tool allows users to select from a list of wire types tailored for marine applications and standards (ABYC or ISO). Users have the flexibility to adjust measurement units between feet and meters within existing wire runs.

Moreover, DC Wire Sizer offers even more functionality such as setting default Wire Gauge and Unit of Measure preferences. Users can choose Maximum Voltage Drop percentages, Bundle Sizes, insulation ratings, and easily switch between inside/outside engine room specifications.

Reviewers speak highly of this tool's comprehensive features catering to both professionals and enthusiasts in the marine industry. It helps users easily manage their wiring projects by providing detailed calculations and summaries essential for effective planning and purchasing decisions.

"The DC Wire Sizer is the most complete and comprehensive marine DC wire-sizing tool available. Developed for both marine professionals (the Wire Sizer Pro) and the occasional tinkerer (the Wire Sizer Wizard), the app determines the proper wire size, along with the voltage drop and ampacity by using the ABYC E-11 or ISO 10133 formulas and tables." - OnboardOnline (2013)

"Stay organized by adding a wire description to the wire run and assign it to a project name (ie boat name, owner or work order). Mark the wire run as "Complete" or “Cancelled”, re-order wire runs within a project or move them between projects. Tired of adding wire runs in order to figure out what to purchase and how much? DC Wire Sizer sums the active wire runs for you by wire size (e.g. 8 AWG) and type (e.g. Safety Duplex, Battery Cable, and Primary Wire)." - marinabusiness (AU 2013)

"If you're doing a lot of wiring on your boat, the app allows you to save the calculations with project names and wire type. The app then can sum the length of the wire runs by wire type and size which can be used as a shopping list for your projects. No other app offers these unique features and that's what makes it a winner." - i-marineapps (2013)

"This is the best wire sizer program I have seen to date. I can size and make a list at the same time also there is a better selection of amps and volts." - Keith Herridge, Special Projects, Lyman-Morse Boatbuilding
