APPLICATIONS INCLUDED

 

This suite of applications takes advantage of the Excel® user interface to provide an intuitive and familiar interface while providing the ability to model projects as small as a single-family dwelling unit or an electrical distribution system with a double-ended service to anything in between within a single application.​

​

The annual subscription fee provides unlimited access to all applications for all NEC Code Cycles available in the Download Section.

​

Electrical Panel Schedule

 

The Electrical Panel Schedule tool:

  • Will reduce design manhours by combining Load Calculations, Short Circuit Calculations, and Voltage Drop Calculations into a single application eliminating the need for data entry into multiple applications.

  • Changes automatically propagate throughout each bus.

  • Will reduce calculation errors by eliminating manual calculations.

  • Automatically creates:

    • Panel Schedules

    • Transformer Schedules

    • Generator Schedules

    • Transfer Switch Schedules

    • UPS Schedules

    • Load Calculation Tables

    • Short Circuit and Voltage Drop Tables

  • Is easy to use for both senior engineers and entry-level designers alike.

  • Includes many Built-In Time-Saving tools (see Built-In Tools page).

  • Bus types supported:

    • Main Electrical Service Entrance Switchgear (up to two for double-ended services).​

    • Distribution Switchgear and Panelboards (UL 891).

    • Branch Circuit Panelboards and Load Centers (UL 67).

    • Dry -Type Transformers.

    • Generators.

    • Transfer Switches (Automatic and Manual).

    • Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS).

    • Motor Control Centers (MCC).

    • Bus Duct Tap Boxes (supports bus duct runs with discreet taps along its' length).

    • Paralleling Switchgear

      • Supports a double-ended service

      • Up to five paralleling generators

      • Transfer Pairs

    • Miscellaneous Bus (can accommodate a feeder tapped to feed multiple other buses within a junction box or wireway or other possible configuration not covered by the buses listed above).

​

MV Load Calculator

 

For facilities taking power at medium voltage, the companion Medium Voltage Load Calculations tool will:

  • Treat each Electrical Panel Schedule as a Unit Substation.

    • Read the loads from each Unit Substation (Electrical Panel Schedule) and produce a Load Calculation table for the medium voltage circuit.

  • Treats multiple MV Load Calculators as individual MV circuits

    • Read the loads from each MV circuit (MV Load Calculator) and produce a Load Calculation for a medium voltage switchgear lineup. 

  • The loads will automatically update each time the Medium Voltage Load Calculations tool is opened.

​

Feeder Schedule

 

The companion Feeder Schedule tool:

  • Eliminates Feeder Schedule errors by providing a robust schedule usable by both senior engineers and entry-level designers.

  • The Feeder Schedule uses "Feeder Tags" that can be used on Single Line/Riser Diagrams that have a small footprint thus leaving more space on the Single Line/Riser Diagram for other critical information.

  • How to use the Feeder Tag:

    • The Feeder​ Tag is surrounded by a rectangular box and placed on the drawings in the feeder line shown between two buses. 

    • Other options can be used and are up to the design firms own CAD/Revit® standards.

  • These "Feeder Tags" provide a consistent naming convention that is easy to translate into the amp rating and conductor count for each feeder.

    • Examples include:​

      • The '071' feeder tag represents a copper 70 amp single phase feeder​ (1 phase and 1 neutral conductor or 2 phase conductors).

      • The '223' feeder tag represents a copper 225 amp single phase feeder or 3 phase 3 wire feeder.

      • The '2504' feeder tag represents a copper 2500 amp three phase 4 wire feeder.

      • The 'A304' feeder tag represents an aluminum 300 amp three phase 4 wire feeder.

      • The '404S' feeder tag represents a copper 400 amp three phase 4 wire feeder sized for separately derived systems.

  • Matches the Feeder Data used in the Panel Schedule.

​​

Series Voltage Drop Calculator

 

As the name suggests, this tool calculates the voltage drop on a circuit from the source to the furthest point on the circuit through multiple circuit segments. Features included in this tool are:

  • Each node can have a unique load applied to that node.

  • Each node can branch into multiple other segments.

  • Each segment can have a conductor size independent of the other segments.

  • The results are displayed in both volts dropped and percentage drop of the circuit rated voltage.

  • This displays the voltage drop on each segment.

  • Includes an adjustable voltage drop threshold that can flag any segment that exceeds that threshold.
