ID-Spec Large main benefits

●

The speed to complete your design and manage its iterations

thanks to automation of:

●

equipment choice and sizing,

●

production of the technical sheets of equipment for the call for tender specification,

●

production of the detailed bill of equipment for budget evaluation (this evaluation can

be provided by your Schneider Electric representative)

●

The assurance of the quality of your design process all through

the several iterations

thanks to the automatic management of the consistency of all the design elements:

power assessment, single line diagram, equipment selection and sizing, technical

sheets of equipment for the call for tender specification.

●

The strengthening of your top-class professional image

thanks to the quality of the produced documents (substantiated report which presents

the electrical distribution principles selected, technical sheets of equipment for the call

for tender specification)

ID-Spec allows you to define electrical

distribution principles in 4 steps and to present it

to your customer in a substantiated report

1. Define the project characteristics

2. Select the Main Distribution architecture

3. Select the Sub Distribution architecture and equipment

4. Select the Main Distribution equipment, Generate the technical chapter of the call for tender specification without equipment sizing (including substantiated chapter about electrical distribution principles selected )

Step 1 : Define the project characteristics

1. Select the kind of site associated to the Electrical Distribution under design 2. Select the activity sector

3. Select the activity

The activity description is then displayed on the right part of the screen

4. Confirm the selections

The selected characteristics are then listed in the tree view on the left part of the screen and the next thumb is displayed

Step 2: Select the Main Distribution architecture

1. Define the Upstream connection parameters 2. Define the Site parameters

The relevant main distribution architecture are then displayed below the green arrow

3. View the proposed

architecture and select one of them

By selecting one of the proposed architectures, display associated description and recommendations on the right part of the screen. After viewing all, select the most relevant, from your point of view.

Step 3a: Select the Sub Distribution architecture

1. If necessary, modify the circuit list by (bottom buttons)

• selecting the circuit and deleting or renaming it • adding new circuit

2b. Check and if necessary modify circuit

characteristics

relevant architecture proposals are then listed below green arrow

2d. Move to circuit technology selection ID-Spec proposes:

• a pre defined list of circuits, • pre defined settings for the

characteristics of these circuits according to the activity selected

2c. View the proposals for the circuit architecture

2. For each circuit:

Step 3b: Select the Sub Distribution equipment

2e. Check and if necessary modify additional circuit characteristics

The relevant requirements on equipment are then displayed below the green arrow

2. For each circuit (continuation):

2f. Select the offer you want to specify for this circuit

It is possible to select several offers.

It is possible to have more information about one offer, by clicking on the zoom in the right bottom corner of the offer label

3. Confirm the selections done for all the circuits

Then click on the next circuit thumb.

(It resumes the 2a step for this next circuit)

Step 4a: Select the Main Distribution equipment

In the Main Distribution sub-thumb 1. Select the offer you want to

specify for each equipment of the single line diagram

It is possible to select several offers for one equipment. It is possible to have more information about one offer, by clicking on the zoom in the right bottom corner of the offer label

2. Click on the Sub Distribution sub thumb

Step 4b: View the sub distribution summary

In the Sub Distribution sub-thumb 1. View the sub distribution

summary

It summarizes for each circuit the one line diagram recommended, the equipment requirements, and the proposed offer.

You can select the column and rank the lines.

2. Click on the Report sub thumb

Step 4c: Generate the report for your customer

In the Report sub-thumb:

1. Select additional equipment if necessary

3. End the solution

You will be asked about the name you want to give to the solution
