It is magic: PowerCalc's patented technology generates the Incredible 1 Line Diagram simultaneously with each and every input throughout the design process. We were up against the big guys: Lutron, Schneider, Eaton, but once again, PowerCalc  won  Product of the Year. (Software). Back in 2016, we also won for being first in the cloud. 2019 Product of the Year Winners 

At PowerCalc, we believe that software should be easy to use and work. These "wins" reflect our commitment to electrical engineering software: easy, fast, accurate and green...always in compliance with the NEC and best engineering practices. PowerCalc Product of the Year

PowerCalc calculates all the values for the Incredible 1 Line Diagram with its 7+ million equations automatically designing the entire power distribution system in a building. The Incredible 1 Line Diagram is best in class: fully graphic, automatic and simultaneously generated. Use a split/double screen and watch your Incredible 1 Line Diagram generate in sync throughout the design process.  Video: The Incredible 1 Line Diagram

PowerCalc's changes are automatic and instantaneous, upstream / downstream across your design, and the Incredible 1 Line Diagram keeps up with each and every change. Your power distribution design is always up to the minute ending fuss over this tedious task at the end of a project. The Incredible 1 Line Diagram is a simplified notation representing a single or three phase power system required for posting in commercial buildings and for building permits.

All electrical elements are indicated with standard symbols: distribution panels, lighting and power panels, building equipment, circuit breakers (OCPD), transformers, disconnects, buss bars and conductors. The block diagram indicates the flow of power between these electrical elements showing feeder sizes, trip Amp, fault current analysis, equipment AIC and % Voltage Drop.

In new construction, the Incredible 1 Line Diagram summarizes the entire power distribution system. In renovation, the Incredible 1 Line Diagram is the starting point to determine the project's impact on the existing power distribution system.
