Abstract :
The advantages of PC-based design packages are apparent through improved accuracy in design and analysis of electrical distribution systems. Some application programs are described, and the philosophy behind these design packages is presented. The personnel resources required for development and implementation are discussed, along with how various software programs are applied. The PC as a database organizer, management considerations, design enhancement tools, data porting and conversion, and the integrated engineering database are considered
