4 Circuit breakers and all final "fly-over" display provides instant information for any device,cable or load in the distribution from the single line Line Diagram - AutoCAD ExportA powerful PowerCad-5 /AutoCAD dynamic link transports the distribution single line diagram directly into AutoCAD and dynamically updates the diagram as changes are made AnalysisPowerCad-5 contains a powerful harmonic module. Loads with a harmonic profile (up to the 50th order) can be added to anyswitchboard in the distribution network. The harmonic profilefor each load is added automatically throughout the sizes the neutral and active conductors based on theharmonic load profile at each point in the MitigationHarmonic filters (requires manufacturer s data) can be connected to thenetwork.
