Electrical AutoCAD (ECAD) is a specialized application of AutoCAD focused on the design, drafting, and documentation of electrical systems. It provides engineers and designers with tools to create precise schematics, wiring diagrams, panel layouts, and control circuits efficiently, ensuring compliance with industry standards.
ECAD is widely used in industrial, commercial, and residential electrical projects, including power distribution, automation, control systems, and building services. By integrating traditional CAD capabilities with electrical-specific features, ECAD allows users to streamline the design process, reduce errors, and generate construction-ready documentation.
With ECAD, engineers can work with standard electrical symbols, automated numbering, and component libraries, enabling fast and accurate design of complex electrical systems.
Essential tool for designing and documenting electrical systems in various industries
Reduces manual errors and speeds up the creation of schematics and panel layouts.
