ADVANTAGES:
Quality and compliance:
Caneco BT avoids time-consuming multiple entries and so reduces the risk of errors. It also integrates 17 international standards into its calculation engine, along with the maritime and direct current standards.
Time saving:
Caneco BT reduces the length of the design phases thanks to the simplified data entry and the automated production of documentation.
Cost reduction:
The calculation engine automatically performs the most economical sizing in compliance with the applicable standards.
Tailored to global markets:
Caneco BT allows international projects to be designed thanks to the manufacturer material catalogues that are tailored to each country and to the multi-standard, multi-language options (7 languages), including the printing of documents.
Other features
Power losses in conductors can account for a significant portion of the energy that passes through a low-voltage network.
With this new feature in Caneco BT 2022 :
- Simply estimate the Joule losses in your installation and their cost
- Identify cables with significant losses
- Assess the impact of an increase in the section on these losses
- Optimize the energy efficiency of your low-voltage installation
Adding EVSE manufacturer files (terminals/chargers) (Legrand, Schneider Electric):
Select the model of the EVSE terminal in one of the manufacturer bases offered by Alpi. And automatically determine your protection according to the rules of IEC 60364-7-722.
Addition of new "color" themes offering the distinctive display of selectivity results:
This display theme allows you to quickly identify on the general single-line or on the single-line table the circuits for which the selectivity is not total. You can then make the changes you think you need.
Export of a Caneco BT project (nomenclature) to the Rexel® merchant site:
After configuring your materials in Caneco Armoire, thanks to the "Order" button in the "Table" tab of the pallet, Caneco BT creates a bill of materials that is sent to your basket on the Rexel® website.
This makes it possible to order the cabinet materials quickly without re-entry.
Export of a Caneco BT project to other software solutions:
Export your Caneco BT project to EPB Rapsody™; Hagercad™; SEE Electrical™; XLPro³ ™.
Updating standards for the following countries:
The following standards have been updated:
- IEC64-8 2021 (Italy)
- NEK400 2018 (Norway)
