Siemens has expanded the TIA Selection Tool Cloud with the new “Electrical Designer” feature for electrical planning. This smart software is the first and only in the IEC market (application of International Electrotechnical Commission standards) that includes basic electrical knowledge and standards expertise, eliminating the need for time-consuming research and complex manual work. Electrical Designer simplifies main circuit design by automatically selecting components, verifying short-circuits, sizing cables, and creating all necessary documentation in one easy process. Electrical planners often encounter limitations when designing electrical equipment for machines. An overabundance of caution and time pressure can result in the adoption of old plans, including outdated or inefficient concepts. Frequently, mechanical design data and documents cannot be processed seamlessly in the electrical design and have to be reworked. This offers enormous potential for savings and quality improvement. Siemens’ Electrical Designer, part of the TIA Selection Tool Cloud, helps save time and avoid errors,
