most common electrical design calculations in full
compliance with the 2008 National Electrical Code.
Conductor sizing:
- Single or parallel (up to 12) conductors per phase
- Voltage drop, circuit type, ambient temperature and
quantity of current carrying conductors derating
- Terminal temperature factoring
- New rooftop raceway derating
- Many built-in conductor types
- Custom conductors
Conduit & Trough Fill:
- Any combination of conductors per fill calculation
including bare and custom conductors
- 13 raceway types plus trough
- Alternate raceway size option.
Motor Calcs:
- Motor conductor, overcurrent and overload sizing
- Single or parallel (up to 12) conductors per phase
- Voltage drop, circuit type, ambient temperature and
quantity current carrying conductors derating
- Terminal temperature factoring
- New rooftop raceway derating
- Many built-in conductor types
- Custom conductors
- single phase motors up to 10 Hp
- Three phase motors up to 500 Hp.
Lighting Design:
- Many built-in lighting fixtures and lamps
- Specify your own fixtures and lamps
- Reflectance and maintenance factor parameters
- Standard and reverse lighting calculations
Panel Directory:
- Print panelboard directories in two sizes (4x6 or 6x8 inch)
- Up to 84 circuits per panelboard
- Optional footer text.
Transformer Sizing:
- Solve for kva rating or load amperage
- Primary and secondary overcurrent protection
- Distribution and autotransformer types.
Fault Current Calcs:
- Point to point method, up to 10 points on each
distribution system.
- Calculate fault current at the end of a run of conductors
- Calculate fault current at the secondary of a transformer
- Calculate fault current downstream from the secondary of
a transformer
Voltage Drop:
- Calculates the voltage drop on existing or proposed
resistive (100% power factor) circuits.
Power Factor Correction:
- Calculates the existing power factor, and determines the
quantity of capacitive Kvars needed to arrive at a new
power factor
- Shows the amount of distribution system losses that
would be freed-up at the new power factor.
Box Fill and Sizing:
- Calculates the volumetric capacity, in cubic inches, of
device or splice boxes, required for any quantity of
conductors, devices, and fittings.
Quick-Reference Tables:
- Reference tables from the NEC. Conductor ampacity, box
volumes, equipment ground conductors, grounding
electrode conductors, underground cover requirements,
terminal temperature limitations, and more.
File Save/Load:
- All program function allow you to save project files for
future reference or reuse.
Professional, detailed printed reports:
- Viewable in print preview, or sent to printer.
Quick-Calculators:
- Ohm's Law
- AC/DC Formulas
- Cost to Operate (standard and demand metering)
