See all new features 2022:
New project file format to optimize and simplify data sharing
• UPEX single project file.
• SQLite database technology, a recognized and widely used standard.
• Project format optimized and shared with all Electro Graphics applications for electrical systems.
Analysis of short circuit currents in AC during the transient, according to IEC 60909
• Analysis of the transient failure in AC units.
• Verification of the breaking and closing capacity in the event that a protection is assigned.
• New Fault Analysis panel, a useful tool for studying the different fault dynamics depending on the conductors involved by clicking on the appropriate cells in the grid.
• Inconsistency reporting with specification of the type of fault.
Calculation of DC short-circuit currents according to IEC 61660-1 both steady and transient
• The direct current calculation method used by the software acts on the direct current users by modifying the single-phase fault current values associated with the subtransient regime.
• The graph with the calculated values is displayed in the advanced features panel and in the appropriate printable report.
Management of the regulation steps on the currents and times of the protections, with indication of the regulation tolerances
• Determination of the approximate fault current curve according to the IEC 61660-1 standard.
• Management of the adjustment steps in the calibration of the protection releases.
• Protection calibration document with reporting of the adjustment parameters.
• Device Archive completely revised and updated with data referring to protection settings and adjustments.
• Management and verification of the long-delay trip curve of homopolar protections.
• Assignment of steps or fixed pitch adjustments as per catalog.
• Tolerance of electronic protections with electronic release thresholds represented in the intervention curves with a precision band.
• Long delay threshold LR0 for ground release.
Selectivity: representation of the release tolerance band in electronic protections
• Tolerance of electronic protections protections with electronic release thresholds represented in the intervention curves with a precision band.
Verification of the closing capacity of the protections both in AC and DC according to IEC 60947-2
• Ampère verifies that the making power of a protection is greater than the maximum presumed peak current.
• The verification is applied to the automatic protections that refer to the CEI EN 60947 standard.
Automatic search for backup coordination relationships between protections
• Pre-analysis and selection of protections with possible backup filiation.
• Multiple assignment of protections with backup filiation.
Further possibilities for managing secondary installations on utilities
• The number of secondary poses for each user has been increased to five.
• Circuits in proximity and Ambient temperature defined for each installation.
• New print "Wiring and secondary laying" for each user the characteristics of the additional enabled laying in the duct are specified.
Extension of the auxiliary circuits definable in the units
• The management of the auxiliary circuits for each user was further developed.
Possibility of using ground cables in parallel
• Ground conductors, defined in the ground network, can be composed of several cords in parallel.
Extension and maintenance of the device archive
• Below is the list of implementations made to the device archives as the addition of new series, revision and integration of the latest news for those already in the archive.

EGlink: BIM integration between Revit© MEP and Ampère Professional
EGlink is an interchange plug-in between Autodesk Revit and Ampére Professional and represents the Electro Graphics's response to BIM (Building Information Modeling) process mode. Here are the most important features and enhancements introduced in EGlink 2022.
Compatibility with Revit 2022
EGlink is now compatible with Revit MEP 2017, Revit 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021 and Revit 2022.
Additional connection parameters with Ampère user data
• New descriptive parameters of the units now available for insertion in labels.
User interface revision with ribbon bar and improvement of processing speed
• New Toolbar in Ribbon version, faster, more intuitive and accessible
• Significantly improved the performance of data generation at start-up and recalculation of cable routes.
Integration with BIM 360 and workset
• Integration with Revit cloud network system.
• Central projects with active and visible worksets can now be processed.
