With Ecodial V3.38, design low-voltage electrical installations
the easy way
Ecodial V3.38 complies with
the latest electrical standards, bringing
LV installation design software to a
new level of performance.
Build your installation diagram quickly and easily by
using standard electrical symbols from the toolbox
(e.g. transformer + conductor + protection).
You can even customise the toolbox by adding your
own group of symbols to the library.
You create your project with all the necessary general
information:
b one window to enter project data (project name,
customer name, etc.)
b another for the general electrical installation
characteristics used for the calculations (earthing
arrangement, cascading, etc.)
Default values can be modified and saved for future
projects.
All this information is used in the subsequent steps of
the design process and for the printout of the project
file. It can be modified at any time.

New standards
Ecodial V3.3 series have been approved
by the UTE.
It can be used to produce design files complying
with:
b the CENELEC R 064-003 European
calculation guide
b IEC 364 installation standards.
Any changes or amendments to these standards
will be covered by software updates made
available through your product support and/or
update contract.
User friendly interface
b Unequalled flexibility
b Extremely clear windows and menus
b On-line help
Higher performance
b Adapts to user practices for maximum
effectiveness
b Perfect project design files every time
b Complete calculations

Operating principles
Optimise circuit-breaker curves
At any time, you can display the time-current curves
of the circuit-breakers to check discrimination between
any two devices. If necessary, optimise discrimination
by modifying the circuit-breaker settings. The new
curves are calculated and displayed immediately.

Determine the source power
Just enter the current or power values for the various
loads and the applicable diversity factor in the power
sum window. Ecodial V3.38 calculates the required
source power, and can automatically balance single
phase loads on three phase boards.
Display the results at any time
The results of some or all of the installation calculations
can be displayed:
b item names
b discrimination characteristics
b power sum (items + consumption + currents)
b results for calculated items.
Step-by-step calculation
The preliminary results are displayed for each circuit:
b cable cross-sections with corresponding sizing criteria
b protective devices, Isc max (1, 2 or 3-phase), Isc min (1 or 2-phase), earth fault
current, R, X, trip unit settings
b voltage drops, earth-fault protection
Different simulations can be carried out at this stage to optimise the design.

Ecodial V3.38 continuously checks the calculations and compliance with standards
(green flag beside circuit when the calculation has been successfull). For total
security, the calculation is stopped if an error is detected. Ecodial V3.38 also offers
total interactivity between the calculations and the diagram (any modification in one
is immediately reflected in the other).
Print or export results
The Ecodial V3.38 print and export functions offer key features.
The final results can be produced in three different forms:
b a complete printout, clearly presenting the project and demonstrating compliance
with standards. In addition to the calculation results, all the information required by
the installer or panel-builder is automatically included (cable lists, equipment lists,
device settings, etc.).
b export file containing the list of components
b export file in DXF or RTF format, for use by other software on the market.

b Fupact offer is perfectly integrated into
Ecodial
In Ecodial V3.38, the complete range of Fupact
is integrated: Fupact INF., Fupact ISFL and
Fupact ISFT. According to the Fupact offer,
users can choose their standards of fuses (BS,
Din or NFC). Ecodial V3.38 also takes Fupact
discrimination principles into account.
Now, Ecodial V3.38 brings to the users a wide
choice of fuses:
v Range: Fupact, GK1, GS1, LS1, Multi 9,
Diazed, aM, gG, gM
v Fuse-Combination Unit type: Switch
disconnector, disconnector, without FCU
v Fuse type (standard): DIN (or NH), NFC, BS
v Fuse model: aM, gG, gM, Diazed
v New representations:
b Variable speed integrated
Ecodial V 3.37 already carried out the new
products of the Altivar range: Altivar 11, 21, 31,
38, 61, 71. Ecodial V3.38 now also offers the
08, 28 & 68 Altivar series. These new products
enrich the motor starter catalogue. Users are
able to choose between direct on-line, start
delta, soft starters and variable speed drives.

b Among other features
v Reminder: A.52-10 to 13 IEC60364 table (current-carrying capacities in amperes) doesn’t apply
any rated current value for CSA under 25 mm
2
for F and G installation methods. Now Ecodial
calculates and optimises all CSA if the local installation standard allows it.
v The maximum voltage drop authorised by the IEC60364 standard is for information only. In Ecodial
V3.38, the users are allowed to enter their own value. However, if the voltage drop in the cable is
greater than the value recommended by the standard, a message is displayed.
v RCD protection for final circuits supplying sockets may be present on the circuit with the socket
or on an upstream circuit. According IEC 60364 standard, Ecodial does not require additional RCD
protection for final circuits supplying sockets.
v LV/LV transformer: Ecodial accepts all primary voltages and gives more information into the
calculation result like Transformer R phase, Transformer X phase, Primary ampere rating and
Secondary ampere rating.
