Trang 2With Ecodial V3.38, design low-voltage electrical installations the easy way
Ecodial V3.38 complies with
the latest electrical standards, bringing
LV installation design software to a
new level of performance.
Build your installation diagram quickly and easily by using standard electrical symbols from the toolbox (e.g transformer + conductor + protection)
You can even customise the toolbox by adding your own group of symbols to the library
You create your project with all the necessary general information:
b one window to enter project data (project name, customer name, etc.)
b another for the general electrical installation characteristics used for the calculations (earthing arrangement, cascading, etc.)
Default values can be modified and saved for future projects
All this information is used in the subsequent steps of the design process and for the printout of the project file It can be modified at any time
New standards
Ecodial V3.3 series have been approved
by the UTE
It can be used to produce design files complying
with:
b the CENELEC R 064-003 European
calculation guide
b IEC 364 installation standards
Any changes or amendments to these standards
will be covered by software updates made
available through your product support and/or
update contract
User friendly interface
b Unequalled flexibility
b Extremely clear windows and menus
b On-line help
Higher performance
b Adapts to user practices for maximum
effectiveness
b Perfect project design files every time
b Complete calculations
Personalise your project
Create your diagram
Operating principles
Optimise circuit-breaker curves
At any time, you can display the time-current curves
of the circuit-breakers to check discrimination between any two devices If necessary, optimise discrimination
by modifying the circuit-breaker settings The new curves are calculated and displayed immediately

Trang 3Determine the source power
Just enter the current or power values for the various loads and the applicable diversity factor in the power sum window Ecodial V3.38 calculates the required source power, and can automatically balance single phase loads on three phase boards
Display the results at any time
The results of some or all of the installation calculations can be displayed:
b item names
b discrimination characteristics
b power sum (items + consumption + currents)
b results for calculated items
Step-by-step calculation
The preliminary results are displayed for each circuit:
b cable cross-sections with corresponding sizing criteria
b protective devices, Isc max (1, 2 or 3-phase), Isc min (1 or 2-phase), earth fault current, R, X, trip unit settings
b voltage drops, earth-fault protection Different simulations can be carried out at this stage to optimise the design Ecodial V3.38 continuously checks the calculations and compliance with standards (green flag beside circuit when the calculation has been successfull) For total security, the calculation is stopped if an error is detected Ecodial V3.38 also offers total interactivity between the calculations and the diagram (any modification in one
is immediately reflected in the other)
Print or export results
The Ecodial V3.38 print and export functions offer key features
The final results can be produced in three different forms:
b a complete printout, clearly presenting the project and demonstrating compliance with standards In addition to the calculation results, all the information required by the installer or panel-builder is automatically included (cable lists, equipment lists, device settings, etc.)
b export file containing the list of components
b export file in DXF or RTF format, for use by other software on the market

b Fupact offer is perfectly integrated into
Ecodial
In Ecodial V3.38, the complete range of Fupact
is integrated: Fupact INF., Fupact ISFL and Fupact ISFT According to the Fupact offer, users can choose their standards of fuses (BS, Din or NFC) Ecodial V3.38 also takes Fupact discrimination principles into account
Now, Ecodial V3.38 brings to the users a wide choice of fuses:
v Range: Fupact, GK1, GS1, LS1, Multi 9, Diazed, aM, gG, gM
v Fuse-Combination Unit type: Switch disconnector, disconnector, without FCU
v Fuse type (standard): DIN (or NH), NFC, BS
v Fuse model: aM, gG, gM, Diazed
v New representations:
b Variable speed integrated
Ecodial V 3.37 already carried out the new products of the Altivar range: Altivar 11, 21, 31,
38, 61, 71 Ecodial V3.38 now also offers the
08, 28 & 68 Altivar series These new products enrich the motor starter catalogue Users are able to choose between direct on-line, start delta, soft starters and variable speed drives
b Among other features
v Reminder: A.52-10 to 13 IEC60364 table (current-carrying capacities in amperes) doesn’t apply any rated current value for CSA under 25 mm2 for F and G installation methods Now Ecodial calculates and optimises all CSA if the local installation standard allows it
v The maximum voltage drop authorised by the IEC60364 standard is for information only In Ecodial V3.38, the users are allowed to enter their own value However, if the voltage drop in the cable is greater than the value recommended by the standard, a message is displayed
v RCD protection for final circuits supplying sockets may be present on the circuit with the socket
or on an upstream circuit According IEC 60364 standard, Ecodial does not require additional RCD protection for final circuits supplying sockets
v LV/LV transformer: Ecodial accepts all primary voltages and gives more information into the calculation result like Transformer R phase, Transformer X phase, Primary ampere rating and Secondary ampere rating
