elec calc advantages are focused to ensure safety, service continuity and energy efficiency according the different standards worldwide

elec calc provides engineers, installers, developers, energy producers/distributors and manufacturers of electrical switchgear, with a powerful tool for sizing electrical installations. This tool includes the most performant calculation models on the market, in the field of design and calculation. It enables a rapid development of your project while guarantying high quality electrical calculations.

elec calc offers numerous advantages such as its increased safety, service continuity and energy efficiency according to the different standards worldwide (IEC, NFC 15-100, RGIE,…)

The current version of elec calc has been developed thanks to the extensive experience of Trace Software International. It includes performance guarantees, necessary for sizing electrical installations in both high and low voltage electrical projects, in various industries such as energy, infrastructure, and critical facilities engineering.

The sizing of elec calc projects will allow you to reduce costs and the time spent designing, while ensuring the correct running of the installation according to different standards.

Remark: this version is limited to LV projects till 630 Kva
