AMTECH's 17th Edition amendment package
Story
The forthcoming amendments to the 17th Edition Wiring Regulations, due to be published in July this year, contain several changes that affect both cable calculations and periodic inspections.
New installation methods, cable de-rating factors and minimum cable sizes come into force for various situations and the much heralded Electrical Installation Condition Report is a completely new certificate that will replace the Periodic Inspection Report in due course.
In response, AMTECH are already working on these changes with the help of major trade associations and industry bodies. This has led them to launch a comprehensive package of software, training and support at a heavily discounted price.
During March 2011, AMTECH’s unique Office Pro package, covering calculations and certification, is packaged with technical support to the end of the year and an invitation to a training seminar addressing the amendments to the 17th Edition, at no extra charge. Additional software upgrades to address 17th Edition amendments are also included in the package and will be supplied later in the year.
AMTECH Group Managing Director Mark Tindall explained: “This package is designed to provide all contractors and engineers working on small to medium sized projects with the software tools they need to help them comply with the regulations in their day-to-day work, whilst accommodating these significant changes as they become available later in the year. Getting to grips with the 17th Edition amendments as quickly as possible will be important for all electrical contractors and getting a head start will be a great advantage”.
AMTECH Office Pro is a complete electrical software solution. It includes the industry standard ProDesign and Protect for complete system cable calculations and coordination, SingleCablePro for quick single circuit calculations and FastTest for all electrical inspection and certification.
