Electrical power distribution

Every breaker in the building, traced back to the source.

TraceCurrent is the system of record for a building's electrical distribution. From the utility and the generator down to the last panelboard, one live model that electricians, contractors, commissioning agents and owners all work from.

Chapter 01

The one-line draws itself.

Upload the equipment list and the panel schedules. TraceCurrent links what feeds what and lays the whole distribution out as a live one-line, thousands of nodes at a time.

Chapter 02

Click anything. See the whole path.

Normal and emergency paths back to the source. Operating modes that show what goes dark, what stays up and what comes on. Temporary gear that appears only while it is in service.

Chapter 03

Built for the people who touch the panel.

Electricians record as-builts as they land circuits. GCs plan energization by zone and date. Commissioning agents track construction, prefunctional and functional status on every piece of gear.

Chapter 04

A record that outlives the project.

Every edit versioned and attributed. Every revision kept. When the building is handed over, the owner gets a permanent lookup of the whole distribution, with photos and history, down to the breaker.

Who it is for

One model. Four jobs that used to run on four different sets of paper.

Procore and its peers manage documents. TraceCurrent understands the electrical topology as a graph, so every role works on the same live distribution instead of on PDFs of it.

EC

Electricians

Record as-builts on the panel as you land circuits. Every change is a dated revision with the cell that changed clouded.

GC

General contractors

Give each zone a target date. TraceCurrent derives the energization sequence from the feed paths and flags the plans that cannot work.

CX

Commissioning agents

Construction, prefunctional and functional test status on every piece of gear, and an integrated system test report per operating mode.

OW

Owners

A permanent lookup database of the whole distribution from utility and generator down to the breaker, with photos and history.

Operating modes, live

See what goes dark, what stays up, what comes on.

The one-line is not a picture. It is a model. Switch the utility off and the transfer switches move, the generator branch lights up in amber, and everything downstream of a dead feeder goes dark. Hover a panel in the app and its path to the source lights up.

What it does

Everything electrical, from the service entrance to the last receptacle circuit.

01

One-line from a spreadsheet

Upload the equipment list and the diagram draws itself. Click anything to trace normal and emergency paths back to the source.

02

Panel schedules with history

Design revisions and field as-builts in one timeline per panel. Verify circuits with initials and a timestamp.

03

Energization planning

Zones carry target dates. The sequence is derived from the feed paths, so a plan that powers a panel before its feeder is flagged on day one.

04

Temporary power

Temp panels, backfeeds and interim gear carry in and out dates and show in the topology only while they are in service.

05

Visual tracing

Drop a pin on the drawing, name the gear, draw to the next node. The same database, built the way you read a one-line.

06

Built to scale

Hundreds of users on one project with no collisions. Works offline in the field and syncs when you are back on the network.

Early access

Bring a live project. We will trace it with you.

TraceCurrent is in private build. If you run electrical scope on a project that could use it, get in touch and we will set you up as it opens.
