QP Update 7.02.14 - Support for Supply Communications Cables
Posted: Mon Mar 04, 2024 9:23 am
This update includes one new feature and one bug fix.
Quick Pole now properly handles cases where Communications wires/cables are located in the Power Space on a pole and can be considered as communication circuits for operation of the supply system. CSA/NESC and GO95 recognize this special situation. Quick Pole will now you to add a Power Wire to a span that is identical to those that could be installed as a Communications wire on the Communications tab of the Span Editor.
Since it is still considered a Power Wire, on-pole and mid-span separations tests for code compliancy will follow suit assuming 0.0 voltage.
Typical real-life shortcomings of these situations is that these Supply Communication Circuits are located in the Power Space on many poles, but then drop into the communication space on others. Quick Pole will detect this scenario as well and report an Error.
A bug in the Project Analysis Report was discovered where the results can sometimes differ between it and the results obtained by analyzing a single pole. This has been resolved. All users should upgrade to this version for this bug fix alone.
