Caneco BT
Caneco BT is a software for automated calculations, sizing, and diagrams of low voltage electrical installations.
What's new in Caneco BT 2022

Calculation of cable power losses and simulation of the technical/economic impact on the sizing
Power losses in conductors can account for a significant portion of the energy that passes through a low-voltage network.
With this new feature in Caneco BT 2022 :
- Simply estimate the Joule losses in your installation and their cost ;
- Identify cables with significant losses ;
- Assess the impact of an increase in the section on these losses ;
- Optimize the energy efficiency of your low-voltage installation.
Adding EVSE manufacturer files (terminals/chargers) (Legrand, Schneider Electric)
Select the model of the EVSE terminal in one of the manufacturer bases offered by Alpi. And automatically determine your protection according to the rules of IEC 60364-7-722.
Addition of new "color" themes offering the distinctive display of selectivity results
This display theme allows you to quickly identify on the general single-line or on the single-line table the circuits for which the selectivity is not total. You can then make the changes you think you need.
Export of a Caneco BT project (nomenclature) to the Rexel® merchant site
After configuring your materials in Caneco Armoire, thanks to the "Order" button in the "Table" tab of the pallet, Caneco BT creates a bill of materials that is sent to your basket on the Rexel® website. This makes it possible to order the cabinet materials quickly without re-entry.
Export of a Caneco BT project to other software solutions
Export your Caneco BT project to EPB Rapsody™; Hagercad™; SEE Electrical™; XLPro³ ™.

Caneco BT new features:
Power losses calculation
Caneco BT new features:
EVSE charging station in the digital mode
Key features:
➜ Calculations and sizing
◗ Caneco BT performs all the calculations (Ik, du, If, ...) in compliance with the applicable standards and the electrical constraints of your installation ;
◗ It also determines the most economical equipment to protect the installation and the individuals.
➜ Discrimination and backup
◗ Caneco BT provides a diagnosis based on tripping curves, calculation and manufacturer tables ;
◗ It takes into account the currents, as well as the chronometrical and differential aspects to ensure discrimination that can also be reinforced by coordination.
➜ Automated diagrams
◗ Caneco BT automatically produces the diagrams of the electrical installation based on 3 dynamic data entry interfaces: network single-line diagram, board single-line diagram and spreadsheet.
➜ Effective data exchange
◗ Caneco BT allows data import/export from an Excel file ;
◗ The electrical data recovered from Revit®, is used for the automated production of the diagrams and the integration of the circuit data into Caneco BT ;
◗ Caneco BT converts the diagrams and the technical documentation of the project into a dxf file (an AutoCAD® file).
+Advantages
➜ Quality and compliance:
Caneco BT avoids time-consuming multiple entries and so reduces the risk of errors.
It also integrates 17 international standards into its calculation engine, along with the maritime and direct current standards.
➜ Time saving:
Caneco BT reduces the length of the design phases thanks to the simplified data entry and the automated production of documentation.
➜ Cost reduction:
The calculation engine automatically performs the most economical sizing in compliance with the applicable standards.
➜ Tailored to global markets:
Caneco BT allows international projects to be designed thanks to the manufacturer material catalogues that are tailored to each country and to the multi-standard, multi-language options (7 languages), including the printing of documents.
