<< IMPORTANT NOTICE >>
Development of and support for the ERACS software product will come to an end on 21 December 2023. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you require further assistance.
Details of new features & fixes across the ERACS versions.
ERACS Application Guidance Notes. An item labelled "Guidance Notes" has been included in the ERACS "Help" menu and provides access to the following guidance notes...
A document that describes the process of producing a set of arc flash warning labels representing the worst-case incident energies from multiple arc flash studies has been produced. Access to that document and the utilities it refers to have been made available in the following areas of ERACS...
Models of Siemens' SENTRON 3WA 3200A air circuit breaker and its corresponding ETU600 LSIG trip unit have been added to the ERACS Reference Library.
A facility has been included in Protection Coordination studies that enables you to choose a circuit breaker (or bus section) that should ignore its trip signal. During the protection study, should the chosen circuit breaker (or bus section) receive a trip signal, it will be ignored and the circuit breaker will remain closed, thereby simulating a circuit breaker failure. That facility has been extended to Arc Flash studies too. Should a circuit breaker (or bus section) be associated with an enclosure, it is possible to instruct an Arc Flash study to disable the circuit breaker when an arcing fault is applied to the associated enclosure.
Models representing the overcurrent and earth fault functions of Schneider Electric's PowerLogic P5 relay have been added to the ERACS Reference Library.
The Arc Flash Risk Assessment module has been updated in line with NFPA 70E-2024. It is now possible to set the NFPA 70E Edition study parameter to '2024' in the Arc Flash study setup form. The Arc Flash Notes available in the study setup form, plus the PPE Table and Help file available via the Report window and Detail form, have been updated accordingly. The electric shock approach boundaries have been updated, in line with changes made to the source data defined in Table 130.4(E)(a) of NFPA 70E-2024.
Data State (i.e. scenario) management and support have been improved. It is now possible to perform the following actions in the top-level data state of a family tree of states without the need to save the model as a new network. What that means is that actions performed in the top-level state are reflected into the child states.
