Ring Circuit Intelligence

To tell Pirform that a circuit is a ring final circuit, just enter the word ring into the Circuit Description field.

Pirform looks at 5 separate aspects to determine whether the over current protective device you have selected is appropriate to the cable size in use. These are:

  • Wiring type
  • Reference method of installation
  • Cable size
  • Protective device rating
  • Whether the circuit is a ring final circuit (Pirform assumes all circuits are radials until you tell it otherwise).

Improvements since 2010.2

In our last release, along with new features we also fixed a problem that caused the database file to grow larger than it needed to be. Pirform checks its database after it opens and updates it if needed and the last release contained an update that had quite a lot of work to do and which could take a minute or more even on a powerful PC. When this update was run on a database file that had grown too large, some user’s machines were unable to complete the upgrade and failed showing the standard Windows error reporting dialog.
