The first submarine communications cables were laid in the 1850s and revolutionized global connectivity with an efficient telecommunication link between continents. Originally designed for telegraph transmissions, these cables have become the backbone of the modern Internet, now carrying digital data across the globe via fiber optic wires. The submarine cable network has grown substantially, with over 600 active and planned cables totaling nearly 1.4 million kilometers.

Was using DranXpert to conduct a load study at medium voltage and came across this bug. Can't set nominal voltage above 600V.

Only way to continue was to set it less than 600V and disabling 'V limits'. Fortunately, voltage triggers are not crucial for a load study.

We have informed Dranetz technical support.

Hope to have a fix soon.

Salam Aidiladha to all fellow Muslims.
May all our deeds be accepted by Allah SWT.

“This is such a powerful message…”

“You’re brave to share, because this will save a life.”

“Someone else who thinks they know what they are doing will stop where you kept going”

“This is fantastic, down to earth presentation that is very relatable to electricians.”

“Amazing perspective, Jason. Insanely valuable.”

“Best arc flash awareness presentation I have seen. Thank you for sharing your story.”

“Thank you for sharing and it gives impact to me.”

To say our friend, Jason Brozen, knocked it out of the park a couple weeks ago on our National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) webinar would be an immense understatement. His story is impacting lives every time he tells it! If you missed the original webinar when we were live, here is the link to the recorded version. Watch for yourself and please share with your employees and coworkers. Let's help increase the impact of Jason's moving story and change safety in the electrical industry for the better!
