A tool to save time, Ecodial enables you to
fully design a LV electrical installation
 Ecodial draws, calculates and dimensions equipment on a
low-voltage network.
 You can easily achieve a single line diagram by dragging
and dropping electrotechnical macro-componants from a
library
 With one click, you can design the whole installation,
including min./max. short-circuit currents, voltage drop
values, cable dimensions plus automatic protective device
optimization as well as trip-unit settings. Customized data
entry enables you to change Ecodial’s selection.
 You can control the performance level of your protection
system and view tripping curve coordinates, discrimination
limits, effect of optimization by means of cascading.
 You can master the report, including cable, trip-unit
settings, calculation formula sheets

A reliable tool to comply with Standards
 An independent institute has certified Ecodial’s
compliance
 A unique international standard (IEC909), which has been
simplified in CENELEC guide R064-003 for LV calculation
software: Ecodial calculates ALL short-circuit currents
(min., max., ground fault, single-phase, three-phase),
voltage drop, cable short-circuit resistance, etc.
 Note: Simplification is acceptable, as product standards
(IEC60947-2) take these transient phenomena into
consideration.
 UTE certification n° 15L-602 provides you with an
assurance that Ecodial complies with calculation
standards

A reliable tool to comply with Standards
(cont.)
 Ecodial is based on Schneider’s worldwide experience
 Installation standards address all the issues relative to
safety:
 overload protection, minimum cable sizes, protection against
direct and indirect contact, short-circuit protection.
 Generally speaking, these rules are all based on the same
initial document: IEC60364. Ecodial also complies fully with
NEN1010, AS3008, NFC15100.
 There are 15,000 users of Ecodial in 40 different countries
around the world.

6 steps to achieve a complete design
 Step 1 - General characteristics
 Definition of the global parameters
 Step 2 - Drawing
 Definition of the network layout
 Step 3 - Definition of circuit characteristics
 Definition of the terminal load, the cable lengths, etc…
 Step 4 - Power sum
 Calculation of the required power, and current
in the distribution circuits
 Step 5 - Calculation
 Sizing of cable, calculation of short-circuit currents, choice of
equipment, etc…
 Step 6 - Results
 Printout of the input/output used for the calculations
