AVEVA Electrical 12.3

AVEVA Electrical is a feature-rich software suite for electrical engineering and design. With its advanced graphical user interfaces, use of design rules and catalogues, and maximumworkflow flexibility, AVEVA Electrical is the preferred choice for all sizes of plant or marine project.

AVEVA Electrical comprises three integrated modules which share a common, multi-user SQL Server database for design and as-built data

Electrical Engineer Module

This enables equipment data entry/import, Compare and Update, change tracking, and the automated generation of highly customisable single-line diagrams, specifications, reports anddocumentation. It features a straightforward and flexible spreadsheet-style interface to four key functions:

Electrical load list

• Define electrical data (volts, kW, FLC, kVAr, pf, phases) or import using Excel
• Define load type (such as motor, feeder, distribution board, HVAC, Lighting & Power)
• Define circuit type (including DOL, FWD/REV, VSD, CB)
• Define wiring rule (auto-creation of equipment, cables and terminations)

Supplies list

• Define design electrical data (volts, kW, FLC, kVAr, pf, phases)
• Define supply type (MCC, distribution board, switch board, etc.)
• Assign loads from load list (and MCC module or circuit number)
• Calculate demand (kW, FLC, kVAr, pf) for normal, standby and essential
• Any supply can be a load for any other supply

Calculations

• Loads: change in any load rolls up through all supplies
• Cable sizing (volt drop, fault level) by installation method
• Fuse/CBs sizing, short-circuit/fault current
• Electrical Equipment Datasheets

User defined using Excel, for MCCs, distribution boards, motors, UPS, etc.

Electrical Wiring Manager Module

This is based on AVEVA Instrumentation’s powerful Wiring Manager module.

Cable schedules

• Define From and To cable type
• Define installation method
• Cable sizing (including volt drop, fault level) by installation method
• Cable gland/adapter sizing
• Auto cable drumming, Bill of Materials Terminations
• Drag-and-drop by cable or wire
• Auto wire number inheritance
• Copy existing equipment (including internal terminals and devices)
• Termination reports without CAD

Cable block diagrams

• Interactive (edit cable, equipment properties and terminations)
• Add new equipment/cables on the fly

Electrical Designer Module

This is based on AVEVA Instrumentation’s Designer module and features:

Auto-creation of diagrams in AutoCAD

• Engineering data updated from load list / supplies list
• Editable and updatable (not re-created in AutoCAD)
• Single-line diagrams based on loads assigned and user-defined circuits
• Schematic diagrams based on user-defined templates

Termination diagrams

• Parametric (auto-drawn) based on Wiring Manager connectivity
• Ability to create terminations by cable

Installation details

• Based on user-defined templates and assigned components
• Create project BOM
