The user can automatically replace an unknown cable type with a similar cable type from the installed cable database.ģ.0.6 New command „Recalculate Feeder“. New opportunities in the „Power Cable Data“dialog window. New command MTR-SL-GET-EXAMPLE opens a dwg-example localized to the cable database installed for your location. New types of power cables added for Argentina, China, France, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Turkey.ģ.1.0 New brief Help system “Getting Started” and new starting window “Welcome to MeteorCalc SL”. New types of power cables added for Georgiaģ.1.2 The list of supported power cable databases has been expanded significantly.
The list of supported power cable databases has been expanded. There are several video tutorials with different drawing examples:ģ.1.4 Tested in AutoCAD 2022. Those become available immediately when the data window displayed.įor details, please refer to the chapter “Getting started with MeteorCalc SL” in the MeteorCalc SL Help. In this case, Data Library Editor should be run to add necessary characteristics. When assigning data, during Step 1 and Step 2, adding new data types may be necessary to describe the model objects. Calculations of specifications of the model objects, reviewing and outputting the results via the window Total Specification or DPB Specification or Feeder Specification. A calculation of a short circuit current and a calculation of a voltage loss in each endpoint of the scheme. Drawing of a scheme of feeders via the window Feeder Scheme. A calculation of a short circuit current and a calculation of a voltage loss in a distribution panel board. A calculation of power sum and working currents of a distribution panel board. Electrotechnical calculations in a distribution panel board, reviewing and outputting the results via the window DPB Calculation. A calculation of the power sum and working currents of a feeder will be performed for each phase separately. Electrotechnical calculations in any feeder, reviewing and outputting the results via the window Feeder Calculation. A calculation of a short circuit current and a calculation of a voltage loss will be performed in each selected endpoint. Electrotechnical calculations in any endpoint of a feeder, reviewing and outputting the results via the window End Point Calculation. Numbering of objects in a feeder and distribution on phases using the command Numbering and Distribution by Phases. Assigning data to model objects using the commands Object Data or Feeder Object Data. Transformers and distribution panelboards are simulated with blocks inserted on the layer "mtr-calc-sl-model". Street lighting units are simulated with blocks inserted on the layer "mtr-calc-sl-units". Cable spans of street lighting network are simulated with lightweight polylines on the layer "mtr-calc-sl-model". To start with, you must be sure that all MeteorCalc SL work layers and all street lighting model blocks exist in the drawing. It is the basic method of using the program. The street lighting model is located in a separate file, and the street lighting project file is attached as an external reference.This method can be applied to small projects. The street lighting model is located directly in the street lighting project file.There are two different ways to use MeteorCalc SL:
