How can your LV electrical installation be rapidly designed and optimized?
Summary • A tool to save time • A reliable tool to comply with standards • 6 steps to creating a complete design
A tool to save time • A reliable tool to comply with standards • 6 steps to creating a complete design
A tool to save time, Ecodial enables you to fully design a LV electrical installation • Ecodial draws, calculates and dimensions equipment on a low-voltage network. • You can easily achieve a single line diagram by dragging and dropping electrotechnical macro-componants from a library • With one click, you can design the whole installation, including min./max. short-circuit currents, voltage drop values, cable dimensions plus automatic protective device optimization as well as trip-unit settings. Customized data entry enables you to change Ecodial’s selection. • You can control the performance level of your protection system and view tripping curve coordinates, discrimination limits, effect of optimization by means of cascading. • You can master the report, including cable, trip-unit settings, calculation formula sheets

A reliable tool to comply with Standards • An independent institute has certified Ecodial’s compliance • A unique international standard (IEC909), which has been simplified in CENELEC guide R064-003 for LV calculation software: Ecodial calculates ALL short-circuit currents (min., max., ground fault, single-phase, three-phase), voltage drop, cable short-circuit resistance, etc. • Note: Simplification is acceptable, as product standards (IEC60947-2) take these transient phenomena into consideration. • UTE certification n° 15L-602 provides you with an assurance that Ecodial complies with calculation standards
A reliable tool to comply with Standards (cont.) • Ecodial is based on Schneider’s worldwide experience • Installation standards address all the issues relative to safety: • overload protection, minimum cable sizes, protection against direct and indirect contact, short-circuit protection. • Generally speaking, these rules are all based on the same initial document: IEC60364. Ecodial also complies fully with NEN1010, AS3008, NFC15100. • There are 15,000 users of Ecodial in 40 different countries around the world.
A tool to save time • A reliable tool to comply with standards • 6 steps to creating a complete design
6 steps to achieve a complete design • Step 1 - General characteristics • Definition of the global parameters • Step 2 - Drawing • Definition of the network layout • Step 3 - Definition of circuit characteristics • Definition of the terminal load, the cable lengths, etc… • Step 4 - Power sum • Calculation of the required power, and current in the distribution circuits • Step 5 - Calculation • Sizing of cable, calculation of short-circuit currents, choice of equipment, etc… • Step 6 - Results • Printout of the input/output used for the calculations
