Following discussions on the forum, you will find in this article the comparison I started to create between 4 electrical calculation software, used for the design and calculation of electrical installation, based on my own experience. I would be glad to get complementary information and opinions from other users of such electrical software. The comparison presents the following electrical calculation software: – XLpro² Calcul software from Legrand 1.3 – Simaris Design 5.0 from Siemens – MyEcodial L 3.4 from Schneider Electric – Caneco BT 5.3 from ALPI (software editor) I believe my criteria are self-explanatory, but tell me if some are not and I will clarify. please add your own opinions and complements in comments, such as: • other criteria of importance for you • other electrical calculation software you are using, and your evaluation on my criteria In particular, I heard about DocWin which I do not know. Based on your feedbacks, I will update my comparison and re-publish it Laurent XLpro² Calcul 1.3.03 Simaris Design 5.0 MyEcodial L 3.4 Caneco BT 5.3 MV protection No Yes No No // transfo Yes Yes Yes Yes LV genset Yes (only on MLVS) Yes at any place in the network Yes (only on MLVS) Yes (only on MLVS) Switchboard coupling No Yes No No UPS Yes No No Yes Operating mode No Yes No No Power factor correction Yes No Yes Yes but no choice of the capacitor bank Fuse Yes Yes Yes Yes Motor starter No Yes Yes Yes Protection diagram Yes Yes Yes (with curve setting) Yes Standard compliance IEC 60364 IEC 60364 IEC 60364 IEC 60364 NF C15-100 NF C15-100 NF C15-100 User friendlyness Clear and single diagram user friendly Clear and single diagram user friendly Sometime confusing Too much information to set, confusing, single line diagram not easy to use Report completion basic basic basic Very detailed Export To XLpro² ??
