<< 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.
The following relays have been added to the reference library... GEC: CDG12, CDG13, CDG33, CDG14, CDG34, CDG16 & CDG36. Reyrolle: TJV, TJEV, 2TJM10 & TJM10. AEI: PBO2 & PBO2FAA.
The following input signals have been included for DFIG, controlled shunt and wind turbine simulations: "Terminal Real Power (pu)", "Terminal Reactive Power (pu)", "Terminal Current Magnitude (pu)" and "Terminal Current Angle (rad)".
We have added the following ABB trip units to the reference library: PR121/P, PR122/P & PR123/P.
We have added the following Alstom relays to the reference library: CTZ61/71 & CTZ62/72.
We have added the following Schneider relays to the reference library: Sepam series 10, Sepam series 20, Sepam series 40 & Sepam series 80.
We have added the following MiCOM relays to the reference library: P120, P121, P122, P123.
The library data entry form for multi-stage protection devices has been improved and enables curves and stages to be copied and pasted.
A busbar toolbar has been provided, which enables vertically-orientated and square busbars, as well as the existing horizontal busbars to be added to your single-line diagrams.
A facility has been provided that enables licences that have not been active for the last 60 minutes to be "unlocked" and made available for other users.
The multi-stage protection device model has been improved and now supports up to 10 stages.
We have replaced the AREVA K series relays by equivalent relays that combine all stages into a single device.
We have replaced the Areva MCGG relays by equivalent relays that include the instantaneous element. Please note that the instantaneous element has been approximated by a definite time characteristic with an operating time of 20 ms.
A graph showing Incident Energy (y-axis) against Working Distance (x-axis) with Hazard / Risk Categories (HRCs) overlaid is now available in the Arc Flash Hazard module. Additionally, a two-way calculator to calculate working distance from incident energy and vice versa has been included alongside the graph, as has a table comprising HRCs, their corresponding incident energy values and associated working distances.
The Arc Flash Hazard module has been updated in-line with the latest 2009 edition of NFPA 70E - Standard for Electrical Safety in the Workplace.
We have added the following Merlin Gerin (Schneider) air circuit breakers to the reference library: M08-M63 and their corresponding trip units: STR18M, STR28D, STR38S & STR58U.
The Incident Energy (cal/cm^2) calculated by our Arc Flash Hazard module can now be displayed on the single-line diagram. In addition to this, alternative units can now be selected for displaying Arc Flash Hazard study data and results.
It is now possible to publish working distances corresponding to each Hazard / Risk Category (HRC) in Arc Flash Hazard Warning Labels.
We have included results font information in the network properties. This means that the results font selection will travel with your network diagram.
A control has been added to the results selection form that allows you to specify the number of decimal places the results should be rounded to for the currently open network. This selection is then saved with the network properties, which means that the selection persists between ERACS sessions.
