Schuko, CEE 16–125 A, a generator, or US Edison / 208 V — each with its per-phase breaker budget.
Free · A Squaresmile app
Know your rig fits the power before load-in.
PowerSense turns your gear list into a phase plan: loads balanced across L1–L3, cable runs checked for gauge and voltage drop, distro headroom in plain numbers — and a printable sheet for the venue electrician.

How it works
From gear list to phase plan in four steps.
02
Add your gear
From a preset library of consoles, amps, movers and more — or your own saved gear. Enter W, VA or plated amps.
03
Balance the phases
Auto-balancing spreads the load largest-first; every row shows its phase. Pin the plan when you commit.
04
Check & hand over
Cable runs get ampacity and voltage-drop verdicts. Export CSV or print the phase plan for the house electrician.
Features
Everything between the wall socket and the show.
Loads per phase
Per-phase current bars against the breaker, amber at 80 %, red past the trip point — with a safety margin for inrush-heavy rigs.
Cable runs checked
Gauge, length and current per run: guideline ampacity plus voltage drop with 3 % / 5 % thresholds, in mm² or AWG.
Multiple lists, one site
One list per distro — FOH, stage, lighting, catering — and a site overview that adds them all up in W and kVA.
3-phase devices
Motor hoists and 400 V racks split evenly across L1–L3, exactly like the copper does.
My gear + account sync
Save your racks once, add them with one tap — synced through your free account to every device.
Built-in good practices
The help explains the formulas and the habits pros live by: headroom, phase balance, drum unrolling, catering circuits, RCDs.
Who it's for
Anyone who has ever tripped a breaker after doors.
FOH & monitor engineers
Make sure the amp racks and the lighting rig aren't fighting for the same phase before the first bass drop.
Lighting techs & LDs
Plan movers, dimmed conventionals and hazers across phases, and know the cable run to the dimmer city is thick enough.
Bands & small productions
One list per circuit, a printable plan for the venue, and the catering kettle safely on its own breaker.
FAQ
Quick answers.
Does it replace an electrician?
No — it plans. The values are conservative guidelines for flexible rubber cable in free air, and the final distro is always signed off by a qualified electrician.
What about generators?
Generator feed presets budget per-phase current from the kVA rating and warn earlier — at 70 % continuous load, the way you should run a diesel.
US or EU power?
Both. Europe mode is 230/400 V with mm² and meters; North America mode is 120/208 V with AWG and feet.
