Electrical design software upgrades for 2007
Amtech has unveiled the latest release of its market-leading software that will help power electrical engineers and contractors into 2007.
With Protect 2001, users simply enter details of the power sources and transformers, using straightforward on-screen dialogues, then add information about circuit breakers and protection devices direct from the built-in library of manufacturers' data.
In Protect 2001, this data has been expanded to cover more devices in more detail.
Trip characteristics can be displayed and compared on-screen, greatly simplifying and speeding up the task of producing discrimination studies, and the new package also allows users to toggle between over-current and earth-fault analyses without the need to re-enter data.

CAD package is exclusive to electrical engineers
ElcoCAD is a new and innovative purpose designed CAD package exclusively for electrical engineers.
Another powerful new feature is an interactive single-line diagram, which automatically checks Icu and Ics values, and highlights potential problems.
Also new to Protect 2001 is the facility to import data, such as earth-fault and short-circuit levels, direct from CableMaster, along with design data relating to loads, cables, transformers and other system elements.
Not only does this facility offer increased time savings, it also eliminates the risk of errors associated with manual data transfer.
To complement the powerful software facilities of Protect 2001, Amtech is including in the package product data sheets from major manufacturers, which can be inspected on-screen, and printed out as required, for use in project documentation.
Facilities are also provided for both the program itself, and the data associated with it, to be updated automatically via the Internet.
