Consulting-Specifying Engineer 2024
Generator catalogue entries need kW/kVA at 0.8 PF plus derating inputs; the tool should auto-derate for site altitude and design ambient.
Consulting-Specifying Engineer 2026
Seed facility-type templates with default UPS/generator redundancy and fuel autonomy from Table 1.
Legrand 2026
In the rack-power calculator, offer inlet presets (voltage, amps, plug), apply 80 % continuous derating and show kW per feed.
IEC 2017
In a fault-loop checker, compute fault-loop impedance for each final and distribution circuit and verify automatic disconnection times for the chosen earthing system.
IEC 2016
In a commissioning module, generate an initial-verification test schedule per circuit from the design model: continuity, insulation resistance, polarity, fault-loop impedance and RCD tests.
IEC 2025
In the electrical rules engine, use IEC 60364-1 as the root of the low-voltage rule set.
IEC 2024
When cable routes cross fire-compartment boundaries, require a fire-stopping element and warn if it is missing.
IEC 2023
In cable and protection sizing, implement Ib <= In <= Iz and I2 <= 1.45 Iz style coordination checks together with short-circuit withstand.
IEC 2024
In surge and EMC design, add an SPD placement rule set: origin of the installation, sub-distribution and sensitive IT boards, with DC SPDs for battery and PV DC buses.
IEC 2024
In the cable sizing engine, base ampacity on installation-method tables with grouping and temperature derating.
IEC 2024
In the switchgear catalogue, tag devices with isolation suitability and RCD/RCM/IMD monitoring functions.
IEC 2021
Size protective conductors using the adiabatic k-factor check or the table method.
IEC 2018
In source modelling, keep safety-service loads (fire pumps, smoke extract, emergency lighting) on a separate bus fed by a qualified safety source.
IEC 2019
In the energy module, score the electrical design for losses (transformer, UPS, cable I2R) and metering granularity.
IEC 2020
In the switchboard catalogue, store the assembly's rated current (InA), the group rated current or rated diversity factor per circuit, Icw/Ipk and the form of separation.
IEC 2020
On the main LV switchboard object, require form of separation (1-4b) as a catalogue field and default to Form 3b/4 for concurrently maintainable designs.
IEC 2024
Board selection rule: allow the DBO type only for office/support-area final boards within the 250 A/125 A limits.
IEC 2012
In the busway object, catalogue rated current, Icw, R/X per metre, tap-off ratings and IP class.
arXiv preprint (National Laboratory of the Rockies) 2026
Size AI data-centre facility power with measured profiles rather than the rated design: even with all servers utilised, facility power reached only 73-80% of rated design.
Consulting-Specifying Engineer 2023
Offer an MV distribution template (13.2 kV, main-tie-tie-main, separated rooms) for multistory halls and compute conduit and cable quantities against 480 V.
Legrand 2025
In the cabinet catalogue record supported PDU mounting positions (count, inside/outside, 0U slots) and whether mounting is toolless.
Consulting-Specifying Engineer 2013
Implement IEEE 1584 working distances per equipment class in the MV arc-flash module.
Open Compute Project Foundation 2026
Add a sidecar power-rack block (600/711 mm wide, about 1200 mm deep, 6000 lb) to AI row layouts with its own floor-load and clearance checks, and model +/-400 VDC distribution from it to IT racks.
Uptime Institute Journal 2017
Evaluate the Tier checker on topology, with paths and components removed one at a time, not on component counts.
