Battery cable record fields
Battery cable source fields for Australian battery voltage-drop and protection worksheets.
Battery cable values needed before DC checks
Show battery cable record fields without certifying conductor size, protection, BMS settings or battery-system design.
| Field | Purpose | Typical source | Boundary |
|---|---|---|---|
| Battery voltage | Sets DC voltage basis for the cable check. | Battery system data or design record | Use the operating condition relevant to the check. |
| Charge or discharge current | Defines current used in voltage-drop and protection review. | BMS, inverter, charger or design record | Current limits can be product and settings dependent. |
| Cable run length | Records the one-way route length used by the worksheet. | Drawing, route measurement or project note | Route changes must be recalculated. |
| Conductor and insulation | Ties cable data to selected product context. | Cable schedule or product data | Do not reuse data across different cable context. |
| Protection and product limits | Keeps device, BMS and manufacturer limits visible. | Product data or project record | This table does not select protection equipment. |
- Use this table to keep battery cable source fields together.
- Battery cable decisions require product data, BMS context, protection review and current standards.
Where battery cable records support calculations
Capture voltage, current, route and protection context before using battery cable values in sizing or voltage-drop checks.
| Item | Value |
|---|---|
| Purpose | Show battery cable record fields without certifying conductor size, protection, BMS settings or battery-system design. |
| How to use the source | Field table only; DC cable voltage-drop arithmetic lives on calculator pages. |
| Standards and project context | AS/NZS 5139, AS/NZS 3000 and product instructions noted for project review; verify current sources and manufacturer requirements. |
| Where judgement is still needed | Use this table for lookup, labelling or worksheet context; do not treat it as a project-specific calculation result. |
| Before relying on it | Confirm current standards, local authority requirements, DNSP conditions, project documents and manufacturer data before relying on a decision. |
Product record basis for battery cable fields
Keep the battery system record, checked date and project scope visible beside each cable field.
