I am curious.

Is there a particular reason you have chosen the software you use over the others that are available?

Arcad is really user friendly and data entry is intuitive and very accesible. One advantage is their tech support really help me to understand a couple of questions generated during the process. Pricing is very affordable too.

I have been using EasyPower since around 1998. I had looked at EDSA, ETAP and SKM and at that time it seemed the most user friendly. I even took a trip to see Conrad St. Pierre and see it in use by a well known electrical engineer. So the familiarity plus excellent tech support keeps me using it.

We use two software packages. The 1st is "FlashTrack" for the data collection. It is easy to use and a qualified worker can quickly collect all the data needed for the engineer it do the analysis using (in our case) SKM.

Note: FlashTrack is not for doing calculations, it was designed for the qualified worker to capture the data needed to model the system.[ATTACH=full]293[/ATTACH]
