Dolphins Software - Volts Electrical Design Software

Volts' Features and Benefits

VOLTS™ electrical design software is a comprehensive suite of integrated modules that produces fast, accurate designs. All computations are compliant with IEEE 141, 241, 242 and NEC® standards.

VOLTS'™ computing engine dynamically displays voltage drop and actual real power values and many user defined variables which are updated with every addition or modification to the software.

Features and Benefits

By using VOLTS™, you will gain control over the electrical design process and make your business more efficient, productive and profitable.
Your learning curve is minimized by VOLTS™ Easy to Use Data Entry - Intuitive Interface - drop down lists with standardized industry data. This comprehensive interface facilitates fundamental computations to highly specific and defined analysis.
Your electrical engineer's efficiency will be dramatically increased by automating repetitive and time-consuming tasks associated with the electrical design process.
VOLTS™ software enables you to standardize your company's electrical design process across all projects.
You will be able to communicate and manage design data more effectively.
The power of automating the tedious task of creating One-Line Riser Diagrams, Panel Schedules, Feeder Schedules, Load Summaries, user defined reports, etc. saves you precious time with VOLTS™ electrical design software.
In comparison to the manual design process, VOLTS™ electrical design software minimizes or eliminates frustrating errors.
VOLTS™ increases design productivity and supporting documentation quality.
Your ability to accommodate the dynamics of the electrical design process by interactively adding, deleting or modifying branch circuit devices and/or conductors & cables is significantly improved with VOLTS™ software.
VOLTS™ features over 300 supported IEEE and NEC® tables, specifications and requirements.
You will quickly copy & paste Panel Schedules, Feeder Schedules, NEC® 220 Load Summary, and other electrical design data from our MS Excel® export feature.
Most reports are exportable to AutoCAD® 2006, AutoCAD® 2007, Visio®, even Turbo CAD® from our CAD DXF export format.
We care about your experience as a VOLTS™ user and develop enhancements based on client feedback.
