No. It is an estimate based on the values, units and assumptions you enter. Real-world performance, tolerances, losses, conditions and manufacturer specifications can differ.

Can I change the assumptions?

Yes. Replace the example values with current figures for your vehicle, electrical system, pipe or mechanical application and compare multiple scenarios.

Should I verify the result before using it?

Yes. Check units, measurements, ratings and safety requirements. For safety-critical work, confirm the result with manufacturer data or a qualified professional.
