Watch how to generate a Project Cable Sizing report in myCableEngineering. Using a demonstration project, this tutorial shows how project information, cable schedules, design comments and supporting calculations come together in one document for clients, contractors and project teams.
Duration: 2 minutes 53 seconds. Published on YouTube on 13 October 2026.
What the tutorial covers
- The report layout, including the Project Summary and Cable Schedule.
- Using project and cable Summary and Comments fields to explain assumptions and design choices.
- Current capacity, rating factors, voltage drop, impedance, fault withstand and power loss results.
- Generating reports for all project cables or selected cables, then printing or saving the report as a PDF.

Introduction
In this video, I’ll walk you through the Project Cable Sizing report in myCableEngineering. You’ll see what’s included, where the explanations come from, and how to create the report.
The report is a one-click deliverable that you can send straight to your client or end user.
Project Summary
The report begins with a Project Summary. This section gives readers context about the project, the scope of calculations, design requirements, and your conclusions.
This information is taken from the project’s Summary and Comments field. Use this field to note your assumptions, reference documents, and explain the scope of your assessment.
The report combines your explanations with the cable details and calculation results.
Cable Schedule
Next, you’ll see the cable schedule. It lists all the cables in the report, along with their designations, types, circuit lengths, descriptions, sources, and destinations.
This gives readers an overview before they look at each calculation.
Cable comments and design context
Each cable can also include its own explanation.
For example, I’ve added an installation sketch and notes about the design current, voltage drop, and fault assumptions.
These details come from the cable’s Summary and Comments field. They help you explain your design choices and keep important information with the calculation.
Calculation results and power loss
Below this, you’ll find the cable and system details, followed by the calculation results.
These results include current capacity, rating factors, voltage drop, impedance, power loss, and fault-withstand details.
This way, the recipient gets both the results and the supporting design information in a single document.
The report also provides a power-loss summary for the cables listed.
Entering project and cable explanations
Let’s quickly see where you enter that explanatory text.
At the project level, the Summary and Comments fields give the overall report narrative.
At the cable level, the Summary and Comments fields hold information specific to each cable.
Filling these out as you go keeps your design explanations with the project and makes reporting easier.
Generating and sharing the report
To generate the report, open the reporting options and select the Project Cable Sizing report.
If you select no cables, the report will include all cables. If you select one or more cables, then only those will be included in the report.
You can print the report or save it as a PDF.
After you review the content and calculation results, your project report is ready to share with your client or project team.
Summary and getting started
That’s how the Project Cable Sizing report in myCableEngineering turns your project and cable information into a clear engineering deliverable.
