Power Design Simulation Software?

[nivaar]

For our senior design project we had to design a power system to run a container farming system. We had to determine # of breakers, breaker size, loads etc and make sure everything will operate correctly. Is there a free/student trial software out there that we can put our wiring diagram into that will calculate breaker size, cable size etc to compare to our hand calculated values? I will put a section of our wiring diagram in the comments for reference. Thanks!

Hello

Thanks for your interest in electrical network design.

The “EcoStruxure Power Design - Ecodial INT” version is free download, and you can design your “low voltage electrical distribution network.”

After the calculation of the project, you will be able get the following results.

• The size of the source (rating of HV/LV transformer) required to supply your system.
• The prospective short circuit current calculation of the network.
• The size and setting of the circuit breakers.
• The calculation of voltage drops for the given cable length.
• The optimum cross-sectional size of the cable conductors.

If you need further clarifications, please feel free to come back.

Thanks & Regards,
