Goodmorning,

i'm looking for a software for cable design to substitute the homemade excel file, but i didn't find many products..
i'm loking for a software that starting from the cable ampacity design, will enable the design of cables (voltage drop, CB/protection coordination , etc etc) according to NEC /CEC code but also IEC code.

do you have any suggestion?

thank you,
alex.

Instead of home made excel file you may concept a Visual Basic program-as I did. I did a program in VB45 for underground cable ductbank ampacity according to IEEE 835 [or Neher and McGrath], another according to IEC 60287,[and for cable in air also],for cable tray according to J.Stolpe [NEMA WC51/ICEA P-54-440]. It is better than buying a compact and expensive program without knowing how it was designed, in my opinion.
