Drawing schematics on high voltage components, like transformers etc.

AI Thread Summary
Multisim is primarily for low voltage applications, leading to a search for schematic programs that include high voltage components like transformers and circuit breakers. Users suggest that while many programs can draw circuits, specific symbol libraries are essential for high voltage schematics. ETAP is mentioned as a simulation tool, but the focus here is on drawing rather than simulation. Recommendations include searching for single line or three line symbols compatible with various CAD programs like DraftSight and Solid Edge. Autocad with an electrical library is also highlighted as a viable option for obtaining the necessary symbols.

I know of multisim, but that is mostly fo rlow voltage applications. I need a schematics program like multisim, that has models of big transformer stations, current transformers, fuses, circuit breakers etc.

Anyone of you who knows of a tool like this?

If you only want to draw circuits, schematics, really any program will work if you develop or purchase the correct symbol library. However if you are looking to simulate these circuits, most of the programs targeting protection and coordination. For example ETAP is one I remember, but there are others.
 
No, I don't want to simulate.
Just need a symbol pack. But where can I find them?
 
For whatever cad / drawing package you are using, search for Single line or three line symbols. Some pretty good 2D cad programs out there, DraftSight, Solid Edge - then look for these libraries.
 
If only for drawing, as suggested by windadct, use autocad and get electrical library, there are a lot on the net just google it.
 
Okay I will do that, Thank you all!
 
Hi all I have some confusion about piezoelectrical sensors combination. If i have three acoustic piezoelectrical sensors (with same receive sensitivity in dB ref V/1uPa) placed at specific distance, these sensors receive acoustic signal from a sound source placed at far field distance (Plane Wave) and from broadside. I receive output of these sensors through individual preamplifiers, add them through hardware like summer circuit adder or in software after digitization and in this way got an...
I have recently moved into a new (rather ancient) house and had a few trips of my Residual Current breaker. I dug out my old Socket tester which tell me the three pins are correct. But then the Red warning light tells me my socket(s) fail the loop test. I never had this before but my last house had an overhead supply with no Earth from the company. The tester said "get this checked" and the man said the (high but not ridiculous) earth resistance was acceptable. I stuck a new copper earth...
Thread 'Beauty of old electrical and measuring things, etc.'
Even as a kid, I saw beauty in old devices. That made me want to understand how they worked. I had lots of old things that I keep and now reviving. Old things need to work to see the beauty. Here's what I've done so far. Two views of the gadgets shelves and my small work space: Here's a close up look at the meters, gauges and other measuring things: This is what I think of as surface-mount electrical components and wiring. The components are very old and shows how...
