NEWS! Cable calculations in downstream

02 november 2021

Cable calculations in downstream (wiring system) inclusive many more new features. Cable sizing (dimensioning) in an easy way!

The next generation of EL-VIS Cable has been released!

From now on you can calculate cables in downstream, creating a complete wiring system! In addition, we added some new features not available in our Windows application.

What’s new in EL-VIS Cable?

  • Calculate cables in downstream (wiring system calculations)
  • Be able to dimension a cable using the previous protection
  • The total voltage drop in a selected end point is shown (not available in our Windows application)
  • Easy and intuitive navigation selecting different cables in a wiring system (not available in our Windows application)
  • Copy and move cables in the current wiring system
  • Copy and move cables to another wiring system (not available in our Windows application)
  • When deleting a cable, you’ll get the option to remove the cables downstreams or to move them to another position (not available in our Windows application)
  • When copying or cutting a cable, you’ll get the option to move/cut the cables downstreams or to move/cut them to another position (not available in our Windows application)
  • You’re able to specify PEN or N-PE for multiple (4- or 5-) core cables in order to get more accurate calculations for 1-phase short circuit currents (not available in our Windows application)
  • A brand new warning system, making it a lot harder to make calculation mistakes in the planning phase. As an example, you’ll get a warning if you try to select a N-PE when there are PEN circuits downstream in the facility (not available in our Windows application)
  • Automatic numbering of cable numbers and end points (not available in our Windows application)

Upcoming Cable features

We have two really great upcoming features that we’ll start working on soon; be able to print (or create a PDF file) the cable list or the cable data for all cables in a wiring system. Thereafter we will focus on an even better “economic area” functionality improving calculations in regards of the energy efficiency.
