Calculates power, current (total and per channel), required feed points, power-supply size and the extra-low-voltage feed cable for an analogue LED strip (5/12/24/48 V DC; single colour, CCT, RGB, RGBW, RGB+CCT). Provide the strip length in metres and either a preset or the datasheet values (voltage, colour channels, watts per metre at full load). Optional: cut unit, maximum length per feed, number of feeds, power-supply reserve, feed-cable length, material and cross-section, and voltage-drop limit. Planning values from datasheet data, not a manufacturer guarantee; current-carrying capacity, heat and AREI/RGIE rules for SELV, bathrooms and outdoor areas are not checked. The response includes a shareable link that opens the calculation on planelec.be.

}Checks whether a PV inverter, battery inverter or other power-generating unit (PGU) is on the Synergrid C10/26 list of devices homologated for connection to the Belgian grid. Returns the outcome (found, found_with_limitations, expired, not_found, brand), matching devices with homologation dates, limitations and firmware versions, and homologated alternatives when nothing matches. Where available, each match also carries a separate "datasheet" object with manufacturer datasheet values (DC voltage, MPPT data, links, source URLs, status, last verified date); these are NOT checked by Synergrid and are not part of the approval. Search by brand and model, for example "Huawei SUN2000-10KTL".

}Returns manufacturer datasheet data for an inverter from the Synergrid C10/26 list: maximum DC voltage, MPPT count and range, current limits per MPPT, start voltage, maximum PV power, battery capability, optimizer architecture, links to the datasheet and installation manual, the product photo URL, source URL and page per value, status (verified = stated in the datasheet, secondary = unconfirmed) and the date last verified. These are manufacturer statements and are NOT part of the Synergrid approval; use check_inverter_c10_26 for the approval status. Look up by Synergrid reference (GLV…) or by brand and model.

}Calculates the required copper or aluminium cable cross-section for a residential circuit under the Belgian AREI/RGIE: design current, voltage drop per cross-section, protection check against the breaker rating and the recommended cross-section. Provide the load (A, W, kW or kVA), one-way cable length in metres, the network (1x230V, 3x230V, 3x400V) and the breaker rating; other fields use the defaults for a typical socket circuit. The response includes a shareable link that opens the same calculation on planelec.be.
