Description
EPLAN Electric P8 serves as a cohesive, efficient, and integrated engineering solution designed to facilitate the planning and design of electrical systems for machinery and industrial plants. This advanced software enables users to utilize 2D computer-aided engineering alongside a diverse array of engineering techniques, which range from manual drafting to standardized and template-driven methods. Once the project data is input into the schematic, it lays the groundwork for the automated generation of comprehensive documentation related to machines and plant systems. Essentially, EPLAN Electric P8 provides far more than merely creating schematics and circuit diagrams; it also automates the production of in-depth evaluations that are pivotal for project documentation, available either continuously or compiled post-project as needed. Furthermore, this software ensures that subsequent process phases receive all critical information derived from the engineering process, encompassing everything from initial planning through to manufacturing, commissioning, and ongoing maintenance and repairs. Ultimately, EPLAN Electric P8 streamlines the entire engineering workflow, enhancing efficiency and accuracy.
Description
ZapSketch is an online tool designed specifically for electricians, electrical contractors, and estimators to facilitate the planning of electrical home runs. It allows users to import floor-plan PDFs, draw walls on a blank canvas, or start from a quick sketch, enabling them to place panels, junction boxes, and devices while routing circuits and raceways efficiently. As users modify their layouts, the application automatically measures run lengths and offers insights on preliminary conductor sizing, ampacity, voltage drop, and conduit fill based on the NEC 2023 standards. Users can also access circuit schedules and export their marked-up plan PDFs along with raceway pull schedules for purposes such as estimating, review, and transitioning to the field; however, some export options and unmarked reports necessitate a Pro subscription. Additionally, there are free standalone calculators available for voltage drop, wire sizing, and conduit fill. While ZapSketch serves as a valuable preliminary planning tool, it is essential to note that it should not replace thorough code reviews, engineering judgment, or the verification of actual project conditions. This tool enhances workflow efficiency and supports better project management for electrical professionals.

Pricing Details
$19/month
Free includes the planning workflow and preliminary checks; PDF exports are watermarked and redact commercial pull and calculation details. Pro is $19 per month, or $190 per year, and adds unwatermarked PDF exports, full raceway pull schedules, complete preliminary calculation reports, and commercial-use output. Standalone voltage-drop, conduit-fill, and wire-size calculators are available without signup.
