    PLSCADD Technical support - Is it worth?

    Hi all, We have PLSCADD licenses which were expired couple of years ago but still working without any issues lacking technical support and upgrade capability. While thinking about upgrading licenses, I looked up the recent improvements to the program to see if it is worth upgrading or not. In...

    Down guy anchor holding power - PLS-CADD/ PLS-POLE

    Hi all, Wondering if anyone delved into picking specific anchor type & holding power in PLS-CADD/ PLS-POLE. I'm working on one of the OH distribution projects where I may need to use different holding power anchors (varying from 10,000 lbs to 19,000 lbs) based on the primary & neutral strung on...

    Checking different weather cases on Primary & Neutral of same circuit - OH line design in PLSCAD

    Hi all, I've been working on designing a new 3-phase OH distribution line and going through NESC book to find what are the different weather cases to check for on OH primary and neutral conductors. I recently found that if primary and neutral being used are different conductors, then the top...

    Sag & Tension of Distribution lines

    Hello all, I have had this question from long time and I couldn't find an accurate answer to this anywhere! Well, you may be familiar with Sag of a Transmission or Distribution line and it is defined as Sag = [(weight in lbs/ft)*(span distance in ft)^2]/[8 * (Horizontal Tension)] All the...

    Does any Electrical Power Engineers use PLS-CADD or it is just a Structural Engineers' tool?

    Hello all, I have been using PLS-CADD on electric distribution systems for 7 months. It's been like a structural engineering tool for me but I end up in building something more of electric distribution system. I wonder does PLS-CADD have any electrical engineering side of it or are there any...

    Difference between 200A & 600A Loadbreak elbows (or) What does 200A/ 600A mean for a Loadbreak e

    Hello all, Does anyone has an idea about 200A & 600A loadbreak elbows? I came across this while designing a pad-mounted transformer. Initially I thought that this ampere rating would be calculated from rated kVA and rated Voltage but for a 75kVA transformer with 13.2kV (L-L) on primary would...

    How to calculate Wind load and Ice load of a custom equipment in PLS-POLE

    Hello everyone, I have been doing pole audit on electric distribution poles (Wooden - Southern Pine). As a part of it, I need to build poles in PLS-POLE which will be later used in PLS-CADD for structural loading and clearances. Recently I came across equipment such as capacitors, voltage...
