Overview

Design and calculation platform for electrical plants. Handles load calculations, protection selection, and single-line diagrams - replacing decades of Excel-based engineering

Project ABB Spacer

Challenge

For decades, electrical engineers designed low-voltage plants in Excel — juggling load tables, device catalogs, coordination data, and schematic drafts across disconnected spreadsheets and desktop tools. Every project meant re-entering the same data, manually cross-checking device selections against calculated fault currents, and redrawing single-line diagrams by hand. Errors surfaced late, revisions meant starting over, and the engineering knowledge lived in individual files rather than in the company.

Load calculations

Automated calculation of currents, voltage drops, and cable sizing from plant topology

Device selection

rule-based selection from ABB's catalog against calculated fault currents

Single-line diagrams

schematics generated from the plant model, always in sync
with the data

Project persistence

every project lives in the platform
with full revision history and versioning built in

Beyond the numbers: DOCweb moved a decades-old Excel workflow into a single versioned web environment. What used to be a folder of spreadsheets and manual cross-checks is now one project where calculations, device selection, and diagrams stay in sync from the same source of truth.
