Know how your network behaves
Power system studies model your electrical network before something goes wrong: whether boards and cables carry their load, whether switchgear can break a fault, and whether the right breaker trips first.
Three questions about your network
- 01
Load flow
How power flows through the network at normal load: voltages at each board, cable and transformer loading, and where the margins are thin.
- 02
Short circuit
How much current flows when a fault happens at each point, so switchgear can safely break it and cables can survive it.
- 03
Protection coordination
Settings that make the device nearest a fault trip first, so one fault takes out one circuit, not the whole site.
Which breaker should trip?
Pick a fault location. The fault current path lights up, and the diagram marks the device that should clear it and its backup.
Choose where the fault happens
Trips first: Motor protection
Backup: Feeder breaker A
With coordinated settings only the Motor protection opens, and the rest of the site keeps running. Poor coordination trips the Feeder breaker A as well, and a bigger part of the site goes dark.
Study deliverables
- Single-line diagram of the network as it is
- Study results for each board and feeder
- Equipment ratings checked against fault levels
- Recommended protection settings, with a coordination chart
- A short list of risks and what to fix first
We are building our own study tools in Quantic Studio, starting with the power network workbench.
Adding load, changing a transformer or chasing nuisance trips?
Send us the single-line diagram, or let us survey the site and draw it.
