Hand the plan to the venue

Read the site overview, export the CSV, and print the draft for the electrician — assumptions, phases, cable runs, what is not checked and a blank sign-off box.

Open PowerSense

The output of PowerSense is not a number. It is a draft the house electrician can check quickly and the stagehands can plug in from.

Read the site overview

All lists — site overview at the bottom of the page shows one row per list: List, Feed, Load, Worst phase, Headroom and Status. The status reads Within guideline values, Tight (under 20 % headroom, or from 70 % continuous load on a generator) or Overloaded (worst phase above the breaker). A generator list turns red from 90 % already. Under the table: Site total: … W · … kVA across n list(s).

Fix anything Overloaded before you print — move devices to another list, choose a bigger feed, or split the load.

Export the CSV

Export CSV downloads every list with feed, device, power in W, quantity, phase and subtotal, the per-phase totals per list, the site total, the cable runs and the assumptions (region, voltage, power factor, safety margin). Columns are separated by semicolons so the file opens cleanly in a German-locale spreadsheet. Cells that start with a formula character are neutralised, so a device named =SUM cannot run in someone's spreadsheet.

The print button opens a clean print window without the platform chrome. The sheet is headed as a planning draft — not an installation design, a test record or a sign-off — and carries:

  • The header: event, list, date, PowerSense version.
  • The assumptions: region, voltage, power factor and the safety margin, with a note that the phase currents already include it.
  • Per list: the amps per phase and the site total, and the loads grouped per phase with amps per row — the plug-in sheet, including how many units of a split row go on each phase.
  • The cable runs: label, length, cross-section, what protects it, the rating after derating, the current, the drop and the verdict.
  • The harmonics note on lists marked mostly LED / switch-mode.
  • Not checked by this plan: earthing and bonding, loop impedance and disconnection time, RCDs, how the cables are laid, measurements.
  • Which rules the installation follows — named only as what the electrician applies, for example DIN VDE 0100-711 and DIN 15767 with DGUV Vorschrift 3 in Germany, BS 7909 with BS 7671 in the UK, NEC Articles 520, 525 and 590 in the US.
  • A blank sign-off box for the electrician. PowerSense never fills it in.

Before printing:

  1. Press Auto-balance phases so the placement is current.
  2. Press Pin auto phases so the plan you print is the plan that stays.
  3. If the browser reports Print window was blocked, allow pop-ups for this site and try again.

Save it as a PDF from the print dialog if the venue wants a file rather than paper.

Where the plan goes next

The site total is the number the advance needs. RiderSmith, when it ships, imports it into the rider's power section; until then, paste it from the CSV.

The printout is a planning draft, not a certificate. Leave the "not checked" box and the disclaimer on the sheet — they tell the electrician what the numbers are based on, and what is still theirs to check.
