Pick the video you need to watch or check them all out. You're immediately an expert PowerCalc user.
As Ken Everett of Seattle says:
"I started using PowerCalc not long ago and I'm not very computer savvy. It is really amazing how simple PowerCalc is to use and how user friendly. I just got my first set of drawings back from the Seattle Building Department with zero corrections / comments...it was great. I would recommend PowerCalc to anyone."

01.WHY POWERCALC? (USER MANUAL):
PowerCalc™ is the FIRST Software as a Service (SaaS) company to completely automate electrical engineering calculations for the Building, Construction and Facility Management Industries. PowerCalc's cloud-based model adheres to National Electrical Code® (NEC) standards and makes it easy for users to access the most advanced technology on-the-go in real time saving endless hours of calculation and money. PowerCalc is easy to use: just 3 inputs per circuit (load kVA, load type and # of poles) calculates over 300 NEC compliant outputs - designing a building's entire power distribution system from the light bulb to the power grid. Also includes the FIRST automatic, graphic and simultaneously generated 1 Line Diagram with fault current calculation. Incomparable speed, ease, accuracy and cost.

Step-by-step walk through on setting up the project's panels and values. How to input the 3 values per circuit (load kVA, load type and # of poles) on the wizard or on the panel itself, connect panels, and get going. Introduces the 4 panel types: Branch Circuit Panel, Distribution Panel, Main Distribution Panel and Building Equipment Schedule.
More on Segment 4 - Start your Design, Set up your Panels (Visual User Manual).
Step-by-step walk through inputting the 3 values per circuit (load kVA, load type and # of poles) in the Branch Circuit Panel and also on the Branch Circuit Wizard. Creating Panels and connecting them. Discussion of values automatically generated and tracked. How to use PowerCalc for renovation projects as well as new construction.
More on Segment 5 - Input the Branch Circuit Values (Visual User Manual).
Step-by-step walk through setting up the remaining panels: Distribution Panels, Main Distribution Panel and Building Equipment Schedules. How to connect the panels, how to use the Power Distribution Tree and the 1 Line Diagram.
More on Segment 6 - Set Up the Remaining Panels (Visual User Manual).
Step-by-step walk through of how to use the One Line Diagram and Fault Current Calculation application. First ever fully automatic, graphic and simultaneously generated One Line Diagram. All in real time, so you see your design throughout the calculation process.
More on Segment 7 - One Line Diagram Demonstration (Visual User Manual).
PowerCalc is patented software that calculates all the values for the 1 Line Diagram with 7+ million equations. Your power distribution design is fully integrated and now visual with software that saves you time and money. PowerCalc will change the way you do electrical engineering, it is an incredibly powerful tool that's unexpectedly easy to use.
