System design software
ETAP 4.7.0 is the latest version of this company’s electrical system design and analysis software that pulls features from previous releases, such as load flow, short-circuit, harmonic analysis, and transient stability, and combines them in one platform. Enhancements to the graphical interface and the one-line diagram ease the design process. Data exchange protocols now include DXF, XML, and CVS formats.

Measuring tape
The Power-Return tape measure is now available in a 25-ft x 1.25-in. model. The tape measure offers a rare earth magnetic tip that holds it in place on iron and steel surfaces. A two-step lock button located near the top of the case allows the user to either slow the retraction of the blade or hold the blade in place. A non-slip jacket protects the case and end hook. Oversized black numbers on the first 11 in. make reading measurements easier, and a built-in shock absorber protects the blade tip.
