We designed this software with input from electrical engineers and contractors working throughout Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, and the Great Lakes manufacturing corridor. It addresses specific challenges when specifying generators for:
The software handles virtually any electrical load you'll encounter in industrial and commercial applications. This includes induction motors, synchronous motors, variable frequency drives, lighting systems (LED, fluorescent, HID), electronic equipment, resistance heating, welders, UPS systems, and many others. Additionally, you can create custom load types for specialized equipment.
Power Design Pro's harmonic analysis correlates closely with field measurements when load characteristics are properly defined. The software uses industry-standard harmonic current signatures for common equipment types, and allows you to input manufacturer-specific data when available. For critical applications, we recommend validating calculations with harmonic measurements after installation.
Absolutely. The software supports analysis of multiple generators operating in parallel, including evaluation of load sharing characteristics and redundancy scenarios. Moreover, you can model N+1 configurations and analyze system performance when one generator is offline for maintenance.
Yes. Power Design Pro incorporates relevant NEC requirements and IEEE standards including IEEE 519 for harmonic distortion limits. The software helps ensure your designs meet applicable codes and standards, though final code compliance remains the responsibility of the licensed professional engineer.
Simple calculators typically use basic multipliers and don't account for harmonic distortion, load sequencing, or transient analysis. In contrast, Power Design Pro provides the engineering depth required for professional specifications on commercial and industrial projects where accuracy and reliability are critical.
Yes, we offer comprehensive training for engineering firms, design-build contractors, and electrical contracting companies throughout the Great Lakes region. Training can be conducted at your facility or online, and covers everything from basic operation to advanced analysis techniques.
Don't wait until the next power outage to wish you had backup power. Wolverine Power Systems has the expertise and our Michigan-based team understands the unique challenges our climate presents and can guide you to the perfect solution.
