New Auto Coordination & Evaluation Module! |
This new module is designed to instantly
identify coordination and protection issues by evaluating each
equipment for adherence to basic coordination and protection rules
established by the National Electrical Code (NEC) and recommended
industry standard practices.
Violations
can then be resolved systematically at each location/zone either
manually or automatically by creating TCC drawings of the affected area
with a single click. The auto coordination feature will attempt to make
the minimum amount of changes to the existing coordination and resolve
the violations by changing protective equipment settings or frame
sizes. New settings can be reviewed or reverted back to the original
settings.

|
|
Automatically
sizes Cables, Transformers, Buses, and Protective Devices to achieve
proper size and ratings that meets criteria limits set by the Equipment
Evaluation study. This software is best suited for new system
designs or to resolve undersized and/or overdutied equipment for
existing systems. Includes user-defined Design libraries to specify
equipment that is often purchased.
- Helps
you design safer and more cost effective power systems for low, medium,
and high voltage systems.
- Works
seamlessly with the Equipment Evaluation module.
- Saves
you time by automatically entering equipment data for all components
based on preset libraries with one click.
- Increases
flexibility by allowing user defined libraries for cables,
transformers, buses, and protective devices.
- Increases
flexibility by auto designing based on equipment type or equipment
manufacturer.
- Saves
you time by generating a report that compares "As Found" information
with "Auto Design" results.
- Communicate
designs more effectively with professional reports and annotated
one-line diagrams.
- Allows
for consistent designs throughout the system.
- Complies
with NEC and other requirements.
- Note: Auto Design requires Equipment Evaluation module.

Here
are some comments from our previous courses:
“[Instructor] is probably the best communicator I have taken in my 35
years of work. ”
“Extremely well designed class. Good instructor and he was able to pace
the class and present the material in an effective manner.”
“The handbook was especially helpful. Instructor clarified some of my
misunderstandings.”
“The step-by-step instruction throughout reinforced the processes. That
made it easy to remember what I was going to do after awhile. I wish I
had taken it 10 years ago!!!”
“It was one of the best trainings I’ve been to. You kept me engaged
with very little unnecessary down time and kept the class casual enough
where everyone felt comfortable. I appreciate the fact that time seemed
to go by very quickly and at the same time I learned a lot more about
the software than I thought was possible. The hotel amenities were great as well.” |
