Trace Software elec calc 2026.0.483.1

About Product

Trace Software elec calc is a program designed for electrical design engineers. It is a professional software package from the French company Trace Software for the calculation and design of low-voltage (LV) and high-voltage (HV) electrical networks. The program automatically calculates network parameters and verifies compliance with standards.

Its capabilities include:
• Calculating short-circuit currents;
• Selecting cable cross-sections;
• Calculating voltage drop;
• Selecting circuit breakers, fuses, and rcds;
• Verifying protection selectivity;
• Performing load calculations and power balancing;
• Simulating various network operating modes (normal, fault, backup, etc.);
• Generating single-line diagrams and reports.

A key feature of elec calc is that as you draw the single-line diagram, the program recalculates the entire network in near real-time—including short-circuit currents, voltage losses, thermal loads on cables, and more.

For large-scale projects (factories, data centers, shopping malls, oil and gas facilities), this offers significant time savings compared to manual calculations. The program also includes equipment databases from manufacturers such as ABB, Eaton, Hager, and many others.



When compared to other popular solutions:
• ETAP — considered a global leader in power system analysis;
• SKM Power Tools — highly popular in the USA;
• EPLAN Electric P8 — focused more on generating documentation and schematics;
• Elec calc occupies a niche between a "pure calculation suite" and a CAD system for electrical design.
