ElectriCS

ElectriCS 3D is a CAD system for designing cable infrastructure at industrial facilities, buildings, and outdoor sites. It helps engineers route and place cables, monitor cable arrangement, determine cable support requirements, and produce a complete set of design documentation.

ElectriCS 3D 2022 is listed on the developer's official website. The software is used to design new facilities, reconstruct existing structures, and work with cable networks at operating industrial sites.

Key Capabilities

ElectriCS 3D automates the selection of cable routes from power sources and switchgear to connected loads. The system accounts for mutual redundancy between cable groups and helps minimize shared routing sections.

• Route cables individually or in groups.
• Arrange cables on shelves and cable support structures.
• Calculate and view weight loads along cable routes.
• Determine total cable lengths by installation method.
• Select cable support components from the built-in database.

Work can begin before the design of all cable support structures is complete. As the project develops, routes can be adjusted and additional cables placed within the existing layout.

Input Data and 3D Verification

Input data includes lists of cables, loads, cable routes, object coordinates, and room information. Data can be entered manually, imported from Microsoft Excel, or transferred from other CAD systems.

The software supports graphical entry of object coordinates. It identifies which rooms contain cable routes and connected loads, helping organize data for large industrial facilities.

The built-in route designer allows engineers to view cross-sections and adjust cable positions. Designers can check route fill levels and cable arrangements in specific network sections.

Design Documentation

Based on the cable layout, ElectriCS 3D generates documents for design, procurement, and cost estimation:

• Cable schedules and cable flow schedules.
• Consolidated cable lists and procurement specifications.
• Specifications for cable supports, conduits, and flexible metal conduits.
• Equipment and cable route layout plans.
• Route cross-sections showing cable positions.
• Electrical equipment schedules and coordinate logs.

The software supports customizable design document templates. This allows output formats to be adapted to the requirements of a specific engineering organization.

Compatibility

ElectriCS 3D 2022 supports exporting cables, structures, and cross-sections to AutoCAD, BricsCAD, and the nanoCAD Platform. Official compatibility covers AutoCAD through 2022, BricsCAD through V22, and the nanoCAD Platform through version 22.

The developer also specifies support for Windows 7, 8, and 10 for this version. Compatibility with newer CAD platforms and Windows versions must be confirmed separately.

ElectriCS ADT is a CAD system for designing power supply systems for industrial enterprises and other facilities. It combines electrical load calculations, distribution network design, equipment selection, and generation of project documentation.

The software is intended for electrical engineers and electrical design departments. Its primary purpose is to connect input data, electrical calculations, and documentation into a unified design workflow.

Power Supply System Design

Work begins by creating lists of electrical loads, power sources, switchgear, and sectionalizing circuit breakers. Based on this data, the system allows engineers to create and refine the electrical network structure.

ElectriCS ADT supports selecting cables and circuit breakers from an equipment database. The selection process considers calculated network characteristics and specified operating conditions.

• Calculate electrical loads using demand power factors.
• Check voltage drops during normal operation and motor starting.
• Calculate short-circuit currents.
• Check cable heating and thermal withstand capability.
• Check protective devices and their selectivity.

Calculations and Equipment Selection

The system helps verify that selected cables and protective devices meet calculated operating requirements. For circuit breakers, it considers rated currents, trip unit settings, and coordination with starting and peak currents.

Protection sensitivity can be checked against minimum short-circuit currents. Selectivity charts can be generated to analyze the coordinated operation of protective devices.

The power supply structure can be developed interactively or through automated component selection based on predefined rules and a database of standard solutions.

Design Documentation

ElectriCS ADT automates the preparation of graphical and tabular documents required for the design and procurement of power supply systems.

• Single-line diagrams of feeder and distribution networks.
• Tabular representations of single-line diagrams.
• General arrangement drawings of electrical panels and parts lists.
• Procurement specifications for equipment and materials.
• Tables of load, short-circuit current, and voltage drop calculations.
• Cable and cable-conduit schedules.

Graphical documents can be exported to AutoCAD, while tabular documents can be exported to Microsoft Word. The system supports customizable output formats using graphical and tabular templates.

Integration with Other Software

ElectriCS ADT supports data exchange with EnergyCS Электрика. Electrical calculations can be performed in EnergyCS Электрика, and the results can then be transferred to ElectriCS ADT for documentation.

Data exchange with ElectriCS 3D is also supported. Lists of power and control cables and their connected loads can be transferred for automated placement along cable support structures.

After routing in ElectriCS 3D, updated power cable lengths can be retrieved and used for verification recalculations in ElectriCS ADT.

ElectriCS Light is software for lighting calculations in indoor and outdoor lighting design. It is used for industrial buildings, engineering structures, outdoor industrial sites, and floodlighting installations.

ElectriCS Light 2024 is listed on the official website. The software helps determine illuminance distribution, verify the selected luminaire layout, and prepare data for design documentation.

Lighting Calculations

ElectriCS Light provides two calculation methods. The utilization factor method is used for general indoor lighting. The point-by-point method determines illuminance at individual points in space based on the characteristics of specific luminaires.

• Calculate indoor lighting for rooms of arbitrary shapes.
• Calculate outdoor and floodlighting for industrial sites.
• Account for shading and light reflection from surfaces.
• Work with multiple rooms in a single project.
• Calculate illuminance using luminaire luminous intensity curves.

For indoor spaces, users specify geometry and reflection coefficients for ceilings, walls, and floors. Outdoor lighting calculations use the coordinates of luminaires, masts, and calculation points, along with the geometry of buildings and structures.

Input Data and Visualization

Input data can be entered directly into the software or imported from Microsoft Excel spreadsheets. Element coordinates can also be defined using construction plans prepared in AutoCAD, BricsCAD, or nanoCAD.

Importing luminous intensity curves in IES and LDT formats is supported. Additional features include digitizing luminaire characteristics from images and editing luminous intensity curves.

Results are available in plan view and 3D visualization. Designers can view light distribution maps, isolines of specified illuminance, luminaire positions, and calculation points.

Documentation and Compatibility

ElectriCS Light generates specifications for luminaires and floodlight masts in Microsoft Word. The site model can be transferred to ElectriCS Storm for subsequent lightning protection calculations.

For version 2024, the developer specifies compatibility with AutoCAD 2010–2024, BricsCAD V14–V22, and nanoCAD 20–24. The software supports Windows 7, 8, 10, and Windows 11 (64-bit).
