Key Enhancements for Power*Tools for Windows 6.5
Technology At Work For You
Added manufacturer specific selective coordination
tables to the PTW library. Allows search for up-to-down
and down-to-up selective coordination pairs. Filter for
devices based on voltage, frame amps, interrupting
amps, and selective level.
New Report Viewer user interface and format (.rp2)
allows for image insertion along with enhanced text and
picture editing and formatting. The Report Viewer
includes saving to .doc, .txt, and .pdf formats.
Support for larger one-line drawing areas and navigation
to sub-drawings and other PTW internal and external
document types.
Nametag and Datablock orientations and default
placement relative to the symbol body.
Support the creation of Legend tags (annotated poly-line
symbols) on the one-line and report/display Legends.
Option to report results based on the worst-case scenario
in Arc Flash Evaluation. Expanded the Arc Flash study
option dialog for specialized calculation and efficiency.
Option to select user-defined levels of upstream mis-
coordination checking in Arc Flash.
Added ability to customize the reporting fields and
sorting orders in the Arc Flash spreadsheet report.
Many additions to the Arc Flash PPE Table and Custom
Labels including dynamic pictures for protection
equipments, multiple copies of labels to print for different
locations, etc.
Added NESC 2007 standard option for incident energy
and flash boundary determination.
New protective devices added and new quick search and
query capability. Approximately 1400 new devices have
been added. Also includes Equipment Specific
Arc Flash equations.
Ability to specify phase or neutral sensor location and to
model differential, directional, summation, and zone
interlock devices within Captor and to shift the
TCC accordingly.
Ability to model differential, directional, summation, and
zone interlock devices in Arc Flash.
Device and TCC notes area can store links to other
documents, including external files.
SKM Power*Tools® For Windows Software Training Course
Ability to plot the entire range of fuse sizes
simultaneously. Also added ability to plot Bus Damage
Curve, Capacitor Case Rapture Curve, Reduced Voltage
Motor Starting Curve, Motor Asymmetrical Inrush,
Transformer User-Define Inrush Curve/Points, etc.
Improved the multiple protection function interface to
verify the functions to be plotted in the same TCC
drawing. This includes the settings from the functions to
be displayed in the one-line Datablock; the functions to
be included in Equipment Evaluation; and the function
types and sensor locations.
Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) model as a standard
component type in PTW. Includes model regenerative
and bypass modes.
New Thermal equations added to model the ANSI 49
function for SEL 701, 710, 749M for both Curve and
Rating methods. New models added for Merlin Gerin
Sepam 20, 40, 80 Series, and Startco FPU-32
and MPU-32.
TMS has been enhanced and includes the power and
capability of the I*SIM study module to the extent
required for motor starting analysis. Generator machine,
exciter, turbine governor models, and flux induction
motor models are added, branch power and current can
be plotted in TMS.
Addition of polynomial and damping load model in
I*SIM/TMS library. Also includes Variable Frequency
Drive as a new Starter and Controller Model.
Addition of motor starter and controller models, turbine
governor model, and wind generator controllers in I*SIM.
New Excel reports for TMS and I*SIM.
New HIWAVE iterative solution method when Voltage and
Current Harmonic sources coexist in the system.
New Harmonic Source Component Editor subview menu
for the VAR Compensator, Generator, and Schedules.
Resistance adjustment based on the harmonic frequency
based on the recommended modeling concepts in
section 10.5 of IEEE Standard 399-1997.
Added Harmonic Models for 6, 12, and 18 Pulse Drives
with 0%, 3%, 5%, and 8% Line Reactors in HI_WAVE
section of the PTW library.
