Outline of the SIMARIS planning tools

The SIMARIS planning tools provide efficient support in dimensioning an electric

power distribution system and determining the equipment and distributing
systems for it.

• SIMARIS design
for network calculation and dimensioning

• SIMARIS project
for determining the space requirements of distributing systems and the
budget as well as creating technical specifications

• SIMARIS curves
for visualizing characteristic tripping curves,
cut-off current and let-through energy curves

On the basis of the project structure you have defined and the selected basic technical
data, the following will be determined:
Medium-voltage switchgear:
• Selection of required panels
 result: front view with dimensions
Low-voltage switchgear and distribution boards for the electrical installations:
• Selection of the required protection / switching devices, for SIVACON S8 in addition
frequency converters (built-in units and cabinets)
 result: automatic determination of the best suited distribution systems, equipping of
distribution boards with devices incl. front view with dimensions
Busbar trunking systems:
• System selection, length indication and selection of additionally required components
(e.g. feed-in components, directional change pieces, tap-off units)
 result: Component list
Transformers:
• System selection, quantity specification
 result: Component list
