SmartDesign™ Features
NEC-Compliant Equipment Sizing
- Sizes low-voltage transformers, switchgear, switchboards, panelboards, feeders, breakers, fuses, busway, MCCs, and panels per NEC requirements
- Global modifications for setting demand and design multipliers
- Sizes low-voltage MCCs and the motor and load breakers, fuses, main bus, and conductors in each MCC per NEC
- Sizes low-voltage panels and the load breakers, fuses, main bus, and conductors in each panel per NEC
- Sums all MCC and panel loads per NEC rules, including all downstream loads
- Provides total connected, demand, code-factor, and design loads for each MCC and panel
- Provides total connected, demand, code-factor, and design load summations so you know the exact NEC sizing requirements
- User-definable demand and design load modifiers allow user-modifiable sizing criteria
- Includes the latest calculation standards
Design Sheets
- Fully customizable and reusable
- Design parameters and equipment selections can be reused for multiple projects
- Size with generic equipment—after selecting a vendor, design sheets automatically replace equipment with the exact specs
- Specify equipment by manufacturer, type, style, rating, size, and more
- Specify size of phase conductors, ground conductors and conduit
- Ensure consistent and logical design standards
Detailed Reports
- Automatically generated, tabular HTML reports
- One click exports to Excel, Word, Open Office, and more
- Itemized list of all design parameters with the engineering rationale for each element’s calculated size
- Verification of NEC compliance
- Bill-of-material report
- Cost summary report provides financial analysis of the design based on equipment selected
- Color-coded errors alert the user to system problems, code violations, improper devices, improper protection, lack of setting range, and more
User-Configurable Library
- Comprehensive equipment listing, allowing selection by manufacturer, type, style, rating, size, and more
- Fully customizable to user-specific equipment for all NEC code-factor types and continuous/non-continuous loads
- Easy data entry and interface
