4 Power distribution systems for industrial applications and infrastructure, ranging from medium-voltage systems to socket outlets. SIMARIS design Efficient dimensioning. Savings potential in the planning stage SIMARIS design can be used to dimension electric networks based on real products with a minimum of input from medium voltage to the socket outlet. This software helps reduce your overall planning expenses for power distribution systems and minimizes selection and dimensioning time for the necessary equipment enormously and offers a high degree of planning reliability into the bargain. Customized dimensioning Based on the requirements of the specific power distribution system, SIMARIS design safely and reliably dimensions a system solution from a broad product portfolio that is in compliance with all the relevant standards (VDE, IEC) and reflects the present state of the art in technology. Suitable components are selected automatically. So you can focus on what s important in your planning. Time-consuming research into specific product data in catalogues is a thing of the past. In addition, the soft- ware calculates the short circuit current, load flow, voltage drop and the energy balance. Plus, the personal, short-circuit and overload protection settings are performed automatically in line with the calculations made. Fast, safe and flexible Planning an electric power distribution system is always subject to considerable changes and adaptations both in the planning and in the implementation stage. SIMARIS design integrates each modification into the supply concept and automatically checks its reliability against currently relevant standards and regulations. Consequently, you needn t perform costly and time-consuming checks of standards yourself. In the later planning stages, for example, more detailed consumer data can be added easily and quickly. Selectivity verification is often mandatory, for example for installations in emergency power supply systems. Here, SIMARIS design professional integrates the verification automatically. Intelligent functions SIMARIS design furnishes you with a host of intelligent functions for setting up and dimensioning electric networks. For example, you can create different types of network couplings also at the sub-distribution level. Furthermore, busbars can easily be added and edited in the software, as well as entire motor starter combinations at the consumer level. Convenient and straightforward Thanks to its user-friendly operation and its graphical user interface, you will intuitively find your way around SIMARIS design. The software provides excellent options for graphical editing of network diagrams. For direct project implementation, there are user-friendly options for documenting the results of the entire network dimensioning process e.g. a parts list of the necessary equipment or the network diagram in your desired format (PDF, DXF, DWG). With SIMARIS design professional, you can even export the project for further processing in SIMARIS project. 4
