Electrical Engineering Software

DAPPER® Integrated Electrical Analysis Software. Comprehensive Three Phase Short-Circuit Studies, Load Flow Study, Demand
Load Study, Feeder and Transformer Sizing Study, Impact Motor Starting Study, and Load Schedules. (Unbalanced Studies also available)

CAPTOR® Time-Overcurrent Coordination. Graphical Time-Overcurrent Coordination. Integrated with one-lines, short-circuit modules,
Equipment Evaluation, and Arc Flash. Comprehensive protective device library.

AUTO COORDINATION & EVALUATION Instantly identify coordination and protection issues by evaluating each equipment for
adherence to the National Electric Code (NEC) and recommended industry standard practices. (Requires Dapper and Captor modules)

ARC FLASH EVALUATION Calculates the incident energy and arc flash boundary for each bus in the system. Trip times are
automatically determined from the protective device settings and arcing fault current values. Incident energy and arc flash boundaries are
calculated based on accumulated fault values. Clothing requirements are specified from a user-defined clothing library. Clearing times can be
reduced based on current-limiting capabilities. Complies with OSHA, NFPA 70E, NEC 110.16, and IEEE 1584 requirements. Generates custom
labels and work permits. Also available as ArcCalc, a simplified stand-alone Arc Flash calculator.

CABLE AMPACITY Accurate calculation of ampacity and temperature rise in various power cable installations. Based on and fully
compliant with IEC 60287.

A_FAULT ANSI Short-Circuit Study. Three Phase Short-Circuit Study based on the ANSI/IEEE C37 Standards. Separate solutions for
low, medium and high voltage systems and for symmetrical, momentary and interrupting calculations. (Unbalanced Studies also available)

IEC_FAULT IEC Short-Circuit Study 909 or 363. Three Phase Short-Circuit Study based on the IEC 60909 or IEC 61363 Standards.
(Unbalanced Studies also available)

EQUIPMENT EVALUATION Equipment Evaluation Report. Automatically compares short-circuit ratings, withstand ratings. Applies
de-rating adjustments and user defined pass/marginal/failed criteria. Includes error checking for input data and topology.

AUTO DESIGN Automatically sizes Cables, Transformers, Buses, and Protective Devices to achieve proper size and ratings that meets
criteria limits set by the Equipment Evaluation study. Utilize user-defined Design libraries. Best suited for new system designs or to
resolve undersized and/or overdutied equipment for existing systems. (Requires Equipment Evaluation module)

IEE WIRING REGULATION SIZING Integrates the rules and data tables from the IEE Wiring Regulation to size cables based on the
design loads of the power system. Automatically select the correct table from the IEE Wiring Regulation and pick the proper cable size.

TMS Transient Motor Starting Simulation. Time-based motor starting simulation with graphical output. Includes reduced voltage and
capacitor starting, graphical motor and load models.

Sizing and Stability, Flux Level Machine Representation. User Defined Graphical Models for Exciter, Turbine Governor, PSS, and other controllers.

UNBALANCED/SINGLE PHASE STUDIES

Load flow, short-circuit, demand load analysis, sizing, and load schedules. Reports single-phase loads and unbalanced operating
conditions including phase and sequence currents and voltages.

DISTRIBUTION RELIABILITY Reliability Analysis. Calculates the reliability indices of individual load points and the overall
distribution systems with either radial or loop configuration. Includes Load Point MTTF, Failure/Year, MTTR, Annual Outage, EENS,
ECOST, and other IEEE indices. Cost-related factors and aging factors are included in the analysis to compare alternative designs.

DC SYSTEMS ANALYSIS Battery Sizing, Load Flow, & Short Circuit Analysis. Evaluate all loading conditions for DC duty cycle loads
and AC emergency loads. Complies with IEEE std. 485, 1115, 399, 946, and IEC std. 61660. Includes DC Arc Flash when used together
with Arc Flash Evaluation module.

PTW DATA COLLECTION Standalone program for engineers that desire to capture equipment data electronically while working in the field.
Engineers may also use it to transfer hand written data into the software for more experienced engineers to review and conduct analysis on.

PTW VIEWER Read-only version of PTW for displaying, printing, and exporting all study results. Create or expand one-lines and apply
datablocks. View Time-Current Curves. View and create customized Arc Flash Labels and Work Permits.

GROUND MAT Substation Ground Grid Design and Analysis. Optimizes grid design using general purpose finite element algorithm
for potential analysis and graphical facilities to validate grounding systems efficiency.

CABLE-3D Solves complex three-dimensional cable pulling tension and sidewall pressure calculations.

Data Exchange Import SPEL projects into SKM software to take advantage of a powerful calculation engine to conduct various complex
analyses of electrical power systems. Interface to exchange data with Autodesk Revit now included at no additional cost!
