Software for electrical installation

I find the existing software for the calculation of difficult and long to use. Sometimes, I need to make a simple calculation or verification and I do not need to create a complete network to do it

Recently I have discovered some small calculators, some of them are too much simplified, but I find the idea good. There is for example…

calculation from southwirehttp://www.southwire.com/voltagedropcalculator.jsp

voltage drop calculation from csgnet

And also recently from  Schneider for the calculation of several figures such as size motor, voltage drop, correction,  curve displayer, protection coordination, …
Sadly that only  Schneider products are proposed

soft-tool-cap-bank

There is also Solutions Electrical, for example for the power factor calculation, but also other topics. It seems correct, but it is not free, so I have not tried it.

    Many thanks for your immidiate response. I have Voltage Drop,Short Circuit calculation and other
    required softwares,but I am on the look out for a software for calculating the filter design/rating/voltage
    and capacitor design voltage, required kvars and its output after reactor effect etc viz inputs of harmonic level %, transformer rating, Kva,Kw, Pf etc whatever is required for the software.

    Could anyone guide me in this regard.The software should be user friendly.

    Hello,

    I have just published a post on the blog: best electrical calculation software review

    Take a look and add comments with your own information, with other software I don’t know …

    All the software are free. There is no need to download or to install
    them, they can be used directly from Internet. You should just go to
    the link that I have provided in my post.

    I THINK THE SOFTWARE IS A GOOD IDEA, IS IT ALSO APPLICABLE FOR SIMPLE RESIDENTIAL BUILDIND ELECTRICAL DESIGN AND LOAD CALCULATIONS?

    What has happened to calculate from first principals , it seems to me that the computer generation has forgotten how to use formulas as computers govern our lives. How do you know if the software is giving you the correct answers if you do not use the basic principals, in the Electrical field a fault can cost ?

    hi, i want to discuss abt most efficient electrical software,which is mostly used thes days power system network.plz suggest me to learn about the any most efficient software


    Just use solutionselectrical software. The best and easiest software to use.

    Dear All ;

     

    Regarding the using of any Calculation Software for LV networks, I have some points that are :

    A – As the study of any LV electric network should contain the specifications of all components, the goal of this kind of Software is only to help the Engineers to make easier the calculation instead to do it manually and spend a lot of time, so, once we do the calculation by any Software, and have all results as : Section of Cables, Nominal Currents' values for loads, Short Circuit Currents' values, Earth Fault's value, Thermal Stress values for cables, ext.…, we can too easily define the specifications of all Circuit Breakers that should be installed at any point of network, but certainly without using the following advantages :

    -          ” Cascading  or  Back-up ” as that's the results of many testes for many combinations of C.B.

    -          ” Discrimination  or  Selectivity “, but we can do it if we have a good idea about the tripping curves of C.B.

        So, it's not necessary to use the same Circuit Breakers that are chosen by the Software.

     

    B – To use any Calculation Software, we should know very well the designing method of LV network for many reasons like :

    - As any Software contains the default parameters where most of them should be modified as ” Method of Installation, Ambient Temperature, Kind of Cables, Ku, Kc, Voltage Drop Percentages, ext., so, the using of the default parameters is not convenient all time and for all networks.

    – Any Software hasn't all what we need, and in some time it stops the calculation, where we should do some modification to continue.

    - In some time we should modify even some chosen components like the Cables' Section to use some available Circuit Breakers or vise-versa.

    - The default parameters are not convenient for all countries like ” the Transformers' parameters “, for that we should know what the country's utility defined as Transformers' Parameters and modify them to have the correct results.

    i want to know more said:

    hi myself ajay i m in final year of electrical eng.want to know how can we impliment it i also want to design such things but needs ur support and help.


    Dear Ajay,

    If u want to implement and learn such kinds of design…den u should watch practically first and after getting visually u will be able to understand theory very easly….for pratically knowledge u should pay attention in ur practical labs…and u should prefer youtube to watch any kinds of function of electrical machine…
