Why Volts Electrical Design Software Is Your Professional Choice

Volts electrical design software is a powerful and comprehensive set of integrated modules which covers a vast array of electrical computations, each one correlating to industry requirements (ANSI, IEEE, NEC, NOM with over 300 supported tables and specifications). Volts presents an intuitive graphical interface that forms the benchmark standards for system protection, coordination, application and supporting documentation quality.

You will appreciate the seamless integration of the modules and the ability to accommodate the requirements of your specific needs. This facilitates fast and accurate designs, meeting the challenges of today's complex electrical systems. Volts  accommodates the dynamics of the electrical design process by automating "updates" of upstream overcurrent devices, feeder sizes, raceway sizes, load summaries, etc., keeping your projects constantly current. Editing or modifying system attributes during the course of the design process is also incredibly fast and intuitive.

Volts software was developed for engineers, electrical designers, electricians and electrical inspectors with unsurpassed functionality and flexibility. The power of standardizing design preferences and producing over 30 customizable electrical design reports, all compliant to industry recognized standards, is in YOUR hands with Volts.

The Simple Method Behind Volts' Core Module (Circuit Load Analysis and Circuit Layout) Enables You To:

  • Design and analyze electrical distribution systems by automating repetitive and time-consuming tasks.

  • Standardize and manage design data.

  • Automatically calculate the minimum conductor or cable size based upon circuit load, power factor, efficiency, conductor/cable insulation type, conductor material, ambient and equipment terminal temperatures, raceway type, distance, and the maximum voltage drop limit conforming to IEEE Std 141.

Volts has also integrated CAD DXF exporting abilities, enabling seamless interoperability between Volts and AutoCAD® or other DXF (drawing exchange format) CAD programs. You will save time and money by eliminating the need to print reports and schedules and have them manually drafted into CAD files. Volts electrical design software minimizes errors, increases productivity, and leads to improved and accurate electrical design documents.

Volts features the most accurate computing formulae available.

We are confident that our product development team members deliver a superior design analysis tool that will play a crucial role in the success of your organization.
