Electrical Designer is a secure, browser-based cloud solution for IEC 60204‑1-compliant machine control panel design. It automates time-consuming tasks – main-circuit component dimensioning, short-circuit verification, cable sizing and grid-feed simulation – utilizes approved device combinations, generates seamless documentation and reduces planning time and costs by up to 50%.

Gain more efficiency in electrical pre-engineering

  • Consumer- and cost-optimized engineering through total current calculation for main switch dimensioning.
  • Helps define hardware standards for individual load feeders in preparation for electromechanical engineering.
  • Fast verification with automatic and fast determination of short-circuit strengths and cable cross sections without manual effort.
  • Quick component selection for motor loads (AC3, AC3E), resistive/ohmic loads (AC1), and inductive loads (AC6A).
  • Quickly select and view suitable accessories without catalog or PDF search.
Electrical Designer efficiently dimensions devices and combinations for various load types.
Electrical Designer enables easy compliance with international standards.

Increase reliability in electrical pre-engineering

  • Engineering in accordance with international standards prevents damages while and ensuring the electrical safety of electrical machines.
  • Increased short-circuit strength through combinations tested to international standards ensures standards-compliant engineering.
  • Standard-compliant cable dimensioning considers relevant parameters and input conditions (IkMin, IkMax).
  • Evaluation of standard-relevant aspects according to international standards, including verification of short-circuit protection etc.
  • Safe disconnection with minimal short-circuit currents for maximum operational safety and efficiency.

Bring more flexibility to your design processes

  • Change handling for quick product selection at the consumer and main switch level without significant additional effort.
  • Complete and relevant project data is always accessible for flexible data processing in the form of dimensioning results, bills of materials (xls/pdf), certificates, type approval certificates, master data, data sheets, manuals, EDZ files, etc.
  • Shared WorK" - working together on a project with TIA Selection Tool allows for flexible and efficient project execution.
  • Cloud login allows storage and access from anywhere at any time.
