Ecodial Advance Calculation

What is Ecodial ?
Ecodial is Schneider Electric software for electrical installation calculation and sizing. Ecodial Advance calculation is used to perform the following:
Electrical installation sizing in accordance with installation and calculation standards: IEC 60364 and TR50480 Circuit breakers choice and setting taking into account cascading and discrimination Operating conditions of the installation management to optimize the source and cable sizing

Ecodial is available in more than 10 different languages and has a registration base of 33,000 users across 30 countries. Ecodial is mainly targeted to Design offices and engineering consultants. Ecodial can also be prescribed to end users and panel builders by opportunity.
