Electrical calculation for electrical installations industry
Description
First appeared in 1956, the French standard NF C15-100 regulates the low-voltage electrical installations in France. Electricians, inspection bodies, engineering design offices and of course contractors are subject to the control and the provision of a compliance report on their electrical installations. The 10 October 2000 Decree provisions requires that a plant manager makes available to the auditor, the plant single-line diagram and the calculation report. The need to size their electrical installations safely and efficiently leads companies to equip themselves with powerful software solutions.
Trace Software International solutions
As a modern calculation and drawing software for C15-100 and REBT 2002 standard-compliant electrical installations, with more than 3,000 licenses sold, elec calc™ is now a reference in electrical calculation.
User-friendly with a brief learning curve, it requires only a short training period. It is also the only software to enable multiple functioning modes to size and verify complex systems (Normal, Emergency, Mains/Stand-by, load shedding, source inverter, N1/N2/By-Pass…).
Whether you are a designer, a contractor or an end-user, its multi-functioning modes when controlling and / or designing makes it the ideal tool for all involved in the electricity field. Its ease of use ensures a rapid exploitation of the solution. The design is fully assisted and the detected anomalies are clearly visualized (affected object) and comprehensible (clear messages), for someone with the knowledge of norms to correct.
Benefits
The list is long of elec calc™, benefits but includes the following:
The single-line diagrams and the general synoptic exploitable to the AutoCAD® format.
The ability to calculate the installation without previously choosing an equipment reference.
A true multi-source (several different powers at any level of the installation)
Inverters with network 1, network 2 and Bypass (Manual and Automatic).
An operation scenario configurator (load shedding, source inverter, maintenance, etc.).
Dynamic and interactive inter-manufacturers selectivity by curve.
Multi-standard calculations (before 99, 2003, 2005) in real-time.
Calculation assistant for HV portion upstream of the source.
Calculation with the protection references (type and settings of pins).
…
In addition, this electrical calculation software solution for low voltage installations allows to connect with elecworks™, an electrical CAD solution, with elecworks™ Facility. This is for installations requiring more elaborate single line or multi-line schematics along with the control schematics and panel design. It enables you to create automation drawings (with terminals, equipment reports, 2D panels, PLC I/O detailed drawings, etc.) and even, to route automatically your cables on your block plans for significant savings in copper and aluminium!
