The Most Important Reasons for Using primtech

Enormous increase in productivity in the planning process
As a result of the software focusing on intuitive and productive
substation planning based on an intelligent 3D model, you will be able to
work efficiently and up to 5 times faster in the individual planning
phases compared to conventional CAD tools. Re-use of legacy projects,
e.g. by simply copying and adapting, provides you with a very efficient
way of working. In addition to clearly structured project file
management, primtech enables you to generate parts lists and drawings
at the press of a button.

Flexible cooperation and easy exchange of

project data with suppliers and customers
As a result of the native 2D and 3D export of models free of primtech
dependencies and the simple generation of different plan types, you can
conveniently exchange models and designs with customers and
suppliers. This enables an effective visualization and planning of a
complete AIS/GIS substation. Furthermore it is possible to transfer
primtech models to external primtech users. primtech enables the
consistent planning of the documentation process without data loss.

Impressive 3D simulation of a substation with a

freely extendable library with over 2000 parts
Optimise your workflow with intelligent 3D simulation of substations. Due
to a comprehensive library, primtech allows you to use electrical devices,
such as transformers and circuit breakers or objects from the structural
steelwork, directly in the planning of your switchgear and substation
creation. With the connection manager you can conveniently create and
edit intelligent wire and tube connections with chains and clamps.
primtech functions, such as Layer Management, provide optimal
processing of your substation and rapid generation of plans and
drawings.

application and support of different construction methods, e.g. steel constructions,
skeleton structures and concrete modules as well as quantity and area
evaluations of rooms and walls, optimise the planning process for your
building. Further functions for air conditioning and ventilation
technology or cable trays are also available. The architectural
functionality requires AutoCAD® MEP.

Benefit from a unique parts list evaluation

During and at the end of a project, parts lists are a valuable tool in
the substation planning process. primtech provides various parts lists.
The lists entail all the parts in a substation, from electrical devices, steel
structures via civil engineering details through to the small parts, such
as installation material like details, labels or device fixings. An
evaluation can be selected, as desired, according to the quantity
installed, absolute lengths of wires and tubes or positions. Benefit from
the unique structure of the lists and a convenient assignment of item
numbers. Noteworthy is the capability to group all parts according to the
thematic, e.g. foundations or installation materials, or according to
bays and voltage levels with totals and subtotals of all parts.

Simple handling of earthing grids

primtech offers convincing functionality for processing grounding grid
both for switchgear and buildings, e.g. for gas insulated substations.
The scope of the functions includes special tools for the quick and easy
generation of meshed networks with earth cable objects as well as
details for mesh nodes and device connections. The parts list analysis
evaluates multiple conductors and small parts, as well as the vertical
distance of cables to the devices without having to draw the vertical
installation. Thanks to the comfortable creation of drawings, earthing
plans can be created quickly.

Optimal planning using clearance calculation

Conducting parts, insulators and earth parts are identified by primtech.
The functionality for checking live phases determines the individual
phases throughout the complete substation. Consequently, further
analyses to determine minimum distances, such as phase-to-phase or
phase-to–earth, can be carried out using the intelligent substation
entegra
model.

Lightning protection volumes and areas for substations
76275 Ettlingen
A powerful lightning protection calculation function is integrated into
Germany
primtech which works in accordance to the current DIN VDE calculation
sales@primtech.com procedure and the IEC rolling sphere method and uses lightning rods
www.primtech.com and lightning protection wires as lightning arresters. At the same time,
all the required results are illustrated using protection volumes and
areas.
