ElectricalOM Update 2018.12.10

Tuesday, December 11, 2018

We have updated ElectricalOM to version 2018.12.10. In this version we have made many improvements and we implemented new features based on users' requests and feedback.

To update the software, run it and choose "Download the new version" from the pop up message (See the Knowledgebase).

Some of the features of the new version are listed below:

1.Motor Contribution to Short Circuit Capacity

Motor short circuit contribution, if significant, may be added at all fault locations throughout the system. In order for a motor to contribute in the short circuit capacity, the "Motor Contribution to Short Circuit Capacity" setting must be selected from Circuit editor's Motor Settings tab. The contribution is calculated based on the motor's starting current setting.

2. Define load for spare circuits

The user can now specify load settings for a spare circuit, including power factor and Harmonics %.

3. Show/Hide cables length in schematics

The designer is now able to show or hide the cables length of each circuit in the Schematic diagrams. This is done from the Schematic functions menu as shown below:

4. Default option for showing cables length in schematics

The user is able to select the default setting for showing the cables length in Schematic. This is done from the "Project info and options" at the "Design defaults" tab.
default show cable length

5. Cable annotations

We included several cable annotations for describing the cable of each circuit. These include the Cable ID, the Cable Classification and the Cable Remarks.
Thsese annotations can be edited from the Circuit editor at the Other tab and are used in the cables schedule report.

6. Use of Cable ID in schematics

The designer is now able to display the Cable ID in the schematic. This is done from the schematic's properties area by setting the "Use Cable ID" value to "Yes". Also from the same area the user can directly set the relevant Cable ID.

7. Default option for using the Cable ID in schematics

The user is able to select the default setting for using the Cable ID in Schematic. This is done from the "Project info and options" at the "Design defaults" tab.
default show cable id

8. Cables schedule report

We created the Cables schedule report that lists all cables used in the model with their relevant annotations.

Testimonials

Kilbryde Consulting Engineers have been using Electrical OM software for a while now on our projects and have found it to be really user-friendly and the output reports are of a high standard. Their technical team are great and always on hand to answer any queries. Highly recommended.

Rob McLernon, Chartered Electrical Engineer Kilbryde Consulting Engineers

Having used ElectricalOM for over 10 months, I have loved the Ease-of-Use. The user interface is great, with real time calculations showing you the errors in read as you design. Customer support is exceptional, with great help files to guide on how the calculations are carried out.

Kennedy Owino, BEng, PE, MIET CADG Engineering

Of all the electrical design packages we have used, ElectricalOM really does go leaps and bounds higher than others on the market. Not only for the incredible functionality and user interface of the software, but also for the absolute dedication and helpfulness of everyone that we have had the pleasure of dealing with, from the initial purchase to their continued support. I cannot recommend ElectricalOM enough!

Warrick Brew, Electrical Operations Manager Park Holidays UK Ltd

I've used various electrical design software that undertakes calculations in accordance with BS7671 and IEC 60364, but ElectricalOM stands out as my top choice. Its user-friendly interface and comprehensive background information make it easier for users to grasp the requirements for designing of electrical installations, which is especially advantageous for junior staff. Additionally, ElectricalOM streamlines the process by enabling the inclusion of transformers in the circuit, eliminating the need for separate calculations for varying voltage levels. The output data is also conveniently presented in a user-friendly format.

Jacek Soroko, Principal Electrical Engineer SYSTRA

Currently migrating our electrical designs to use ElectricalOM. Feedback from all designers has been overwhelming positive. Excellent user interface which is easy to follow and intuitive, benefiting from CAD based modelling and real time calculations displaying errors as the system is built. Service and support from Modecsoft is reason alone to recommend this software and their quick response to queries and willingness to update the software to meet specific requirements raises them above all others
