Feline Fantasy — Power Planner

Status & critical rules

Live findings from the current plan, plus the hard rules for this build. Blue values anywhere in the app are editable; everything recomputes instantly.

Provisioning checks — per source

Three axes per source: continuous (vs 80% usable cap), surge/inrush, and stored energy over the event. Red OVER on continuous/energy = hard fail — sustained overload trips the source. Orange OVER · transient on surge = worst-case simultaneous inrush — a coincidence risk you manage (sequence speaker power-on, stagger fog reheats), not an automatic fail.

Live wiring diagram

One lane per source → its distro → its loads. Redraws as you edit or reassign loads. Border = worst failing axis: solid red = continuous/energy over (hard fail) · dashed orange = surge-only over (transient risk). Hover a load chip for full detail.

Generator altitude derate

Naturally-aspirated engines lose ~3.5%/1,000 ft. The HA39 kit recovers the rich-running penalty (not the air-density loss). The fuel-type source's capacity below is computed live from this panel.

Sources

Usable W = 80% of continuous (continuous-duty rule). Energy = battery Wh budget; fuel-type sources are fuel-limited (energy check always passes — see fuel calc). The auto source's continuous/surge come from the derate panel.

Loads

Grouped by area. Derived: Total W = qty × W each · Total surge = qty × surge each · Daily Wh = Total W × hours.
