Can you be more specific. Are you referring to 600 volt cable or higher voltage?

Do not waste your time and $229 on Service/Feeder Design Suite from sales@g3-industries.com, as it will not work on Windows XP, and after explaining this, he will still insist there's nothing wrong with the product. They do not tell you this up front. And since they bill thru PayPal, who will not give you any satisfaction, although they pretend to, by escalating it to a dispute, a claim, etc., you will not get your money back. Been there, done that.

Look at CYME and ETAP. However, note that the software will cost in the 10's of thousands.

I have a program called EFUS (Electrucal Function Utility Suite) By Softcalc designs. It works very well for me and makes things much easier to figure out. They have a free trial version you can get.

I like it.
