Caneco EP Alpi: A Software Solution for Public Lighting Networks
Public lighting networks are essential for ensuring the safety, comfort and attractiveness of urban and rural areas. However, designing and auditing such networks can be challenging, as they involve complex electrical calculations, compliance with standards and regulations, and optimization of costs and performance. To help engineers and technicians overcome these challenges, ALPI, a leading software company in the field of electrical engineering, has developed Caneco EP, a software application that can design and audit high/low voltage public lighting networks based on the requirements of the IEC 364 international standard.
Caneco EP is a comprehensive solution that covers all the stages of public lighting network projects, from graphical input to calculation notes. It consists of two main components: Caneco EP-Implantation, an AutoCAD add-on that allows users to overlay electrical equipment diagrams on the ground plan layout; and Caneco EP, a standalone software that performs the full calculations of a simple or complex network, defining the most suitable and cost-effective protective devices and cable cross-sections. Caneco EP also produces a complete technical folder that includes schematics, nomenclatures, labels, keys and conformity reports.
