MeteorCalc SL is a CAD plugin for designing electrical part of outdoor lighting networks such as street lighting and tunnel lighting installations. The software fully automates all electrotechnical calculations, computations of specifications and drawing of electrical schemes.

• Calculation of short-circuit currents according to IEC60909 (last edition 2016);
• Calculation of voltage losses in street lighting feeders with an unbalanced load;
• Calculation of power sum and load currents in street lighting feeders and distribution panel boards;
• Automated computation of specifications and explications of equipment;
• Automated drawing of detailed single-line schemes of street lighting feeders;

Description

Your advantage MeteorCalc SL will help you to create high quality street lighting projects, including accurate schemes, precise specifications and detailed descriptions of equipment. The complex of electrical calculations carried out by MeteorCalc SL allows design the safe electrical installations. The productivity of outdoor lighting designers increases several times when using this plugin. Street lighting models and schemes The MeteorCalc SL enables to create street lighting network models of any level of complexity. There are no restrictions in quantity of branches in street lighting feeders. Drawing of accurate and detailed schemes of street lighting feeders is very simple with the MeteorCalc SL. Single-line schemes will be drawn automatically from a feeder start point to each selected endpoint. Data libraries There is a built-in database of cables used in the networks of street lighting. We permanently expand the cable database and we’ll add new cable types according to customer requests. A customizable Data Library for street lighting units (with luminaires, street lighting poles and foundations) is intended for repeated use in your projects. Electrotechnical calculations The program has calculation process, which is open to monitoring. Every step of all the electrical calculations (including interim and auxiliary results) can be thoroughly checked on the user request. Build-in Help system contains detailed descriptions of all calculation procedures and recommendations for selection of protective devices in street lighting feeders. Specifications of equipment The following specifications are available: street lighting poles, pole foundations, luminaries, power cables, cable tracks, earthing devices, electrical equipment and internal wiring. External reports with results of specifications and explications can be exported to an external spreadsheet application. Compatibility and localization MeteorCalc SL has localized versions for different regions, because there are different types of power cables and different electrotechnical calculation settings in various countries. Just tell us, where are you from, and we will make and provide a corresponding regional version to you. Supported CAD platforms: AutoCAD and most Autodesk vertical products and BricsCAD. MeteorCalc SL supports the 400/230V (TN) 50Hz voltage systems in street lighting networks and the metric system of units in dwg-files. Trial version The fully functional 30 day trial version of MeteorCalc SL has only one restriction: the number of street lighting unit blocks in a dwg-file should not exceed 50 pcs. The trial version has the cable database, which is intended for demonstration and evaluation purposes only. Please, contact us and we'll add all the necessary cable types for your location. We wish you productive work with the MeteorCalc SL!
