What's New - EasyPower 11.1

The following are the primary features included in the 11.1 release. For additional features and release details, see EasyPower 11.1 Release Details.

Support for NFPA 70E 2024

You can now select NFPA 70E 2024 in the Advanced Arc Flash Options for calculating the Shock Approach Boundary Distance and the Display of PPE Description and Level options.

The device library now includes a new tab for NFPA 70E 2024 where you can define PPE levels for the standard.

Auto-Calculate Added to Fuses, Switches, Motors, MCCs and Panels

Information for fuses, switches, motors, MCCs, and panels is now auto-calculated based on manufacturer library information. An Auto-calculate check box replaces the Calculate button on fuses, switches, motors, MCCs, and panels. You can also choose to disable auto-calculation and enter this data manually.

For MCCs and panels, the Auto-calculate checkbox has been added to the header area of the Description tab.

For all new items, the checkbox is selected by default. You can change the default setting in Equipment Defaults. For databases that were created in EasyPower versions prior to 11.1, the checkbox is not selected so as to preserve any user-entered values. You can use the Change > Auto-Calculate option to select the checkbox on items in upgraded databases. See Changing the Auto-Calculate Options for more information.

Power Flow Error Report Available in the Database Edit Focus

When you open the Power Flow focus, if any errors are found, the program generates an error report. Previously, the report was only available while you were still in Power Flow. Now, the Power Flow Error Report remains available from the Window drop-down list when you switch back to Database Edit mode. You can click right-click on Edit next to items on the report and then click Edit Data to edit the items and resolve the errors.

Support for Delta Sources in Generators

In EasyPower 11.0, all swing and PV bus connected sources were treated as Y-grounded sources in power flow. Beginning with EasyPower 11.1, if a generator is set with delta connectivity, then it is treated as a delta generator in power flow for swing, PV, and PQG sources.

Change ID Names Directly on the One-Line or Drawing

You now have the ability to change the ID name of any equipment item on the one-line or a drawing by double-clicking on the item's text box where the name is displayed.

Open an Item's Dialog Box on the Appropriate Tab and Field

In the Database Browser, when you double-click on a cell, the item's data dialog box opens on the appropriate tab and the mouse pointer is placed in the field associated with the cell you selected.

New Connection Information Available in the Database Browser and Report

There are new columns in the Database Browser and Report that show connection information. These can be seen in the All Columns report configuration and can be added to custom report configurations. The new columns are:

  • From Bus Type
  • From Device ID
  • From Device Type
  • To Bus Type
  • To Device ID
  • To Device Type

Revit® 2024 Support
