Caneco Electrical

Specialized LV, PV, and HV Add-on Module for Caneco Software

Available now for France, Spain and German compliance standards.

Overview

Caneco Electrical is dedicated to the design of low voltage (LV), photovoltaic (PV), and high voltage (HV) installations. It is comprised of several modular cloud-based software add-ons for Caneco, available in Caneco Grow and Scale subscriptions. 

With full integration of regional compliance standards and robust manufacturer equipment content, this cloud-based add-on software modules handle the complexities of engineering calculations and deliver detailed reporting with regional requirements included, ready for inspection authorities and commissioning agents. Included with Caneco Electrical are these three modules:

PV Module

Tailored to the design of photovoltaic installations, including DC and AC system integration, EVSE, and battery storage projects. The module enables alternating current (AC) and direct current (DC) calculations with built-in regional compliance. The PV module is available in France, Spain and Germany. Standards are supported for Germany, France (NFC 15-100, C15-712, and NF 13-200), and IEC.  

LV Module

Enables multi-source design for low voltage systems and interoperability with Caneco BT. Includes France standard NF 15100, Spain standard REBT, German standard VDE, and IEC standards.

HV Module

Provides design solutions for high voltage for France to size the cable, protection and MV cell according to NF 13200 between the transformer and the delivery substation.
