Caneco EP - Audit & Design Solutions for Public Lighting Networks0 pages

CANECO EP

Caneco EP is a software application used to design and audit High/Low voltage public
lighting networks, based on the requirements of the IEC 364 international standard.
Caneco EP automatically defines the most suitable and cost-effective protective devices
and cable cross-sections.
Its AutoCAD® add-on, Caneco EP-Implantation, transfers ground plan layout data to
Caneco EP so it can perform the full calculations of a simple or complex network.

Audit & Design Solutions for
PUBLIC LIGHTING NETWORKS
Caneco EP-Implantation:
Graphic input tool
Caneco EP-Implantation enables you to overlay electrical
equipment diagrams featuring transformers, power arrivals, lamp
posts, lamps, installation methods and inspection holes, etc. on the
AutoCAD blueprint.

From schematics
to calculation notes:
1. Position your equipments

Caneco EP-Implantation automatically generates:
t Equipment connections from power outlets to end consumers;
t Cable routing (sleeve, overhead, underground, gutter);
t Cable lengths;
t Nomenclatures;
t Labels and keys.
Save time by transferring all your data from
Caneco EP-Implantation to Caneco EP.

Caneco EP:
Installation dimensioning software
Caneco EP produces a full calculation of a public lighting network
by defining cable cross-sections and protective devices and
by setting their values.

2. Transfer data to Caneco EP

Caneco EP can also audit an existing network to ensure its
compliance with national or international standards.

Economy:
Caneco EP sizes the network as cost-effectively as possible, by
defining the lowest installation, hardware and labour costs:
t

t Outgoing protection systems on lowest nominal current, taking
into account the type of ballast (electronic or ferromagnetic),
t Most economical cable cross-section combinations.

Safety:
Caneco EP sizing meets the requirements of IEC 364, which ensures
that the system is both compliant and safe:
t Overload condition (current transport capacity);
t Voltage drop (whilst in operation and during the light-up phase);
t Human protection against indirect contact;
t Short-circuit currents.

Applications:
Caneco EP can calculate the most complex public lighting
networks: meshed networks, irregular spacing of lighting points, mix
of High and/or Low voltage supplies (HV/LV-PL) and multiple levels of
protection.

Extendibility:
The flexibility of Caneco EP means you can incorporate the right
calculation margins for future network extensions.
