About this file
This document is the Unified Facilities Criteria (UFC) 3-501-01 technical guidance for electrical analysis software and calculations, specifically detailing requirements for electrical engineering project documentation. The document provides critical guidance for electrical-related calculations, emphasizing the use of specific software tools for significant projects. For the Navy Network, only SKM software modules and EasyPower are permitted for electrical analysis, while the Air Force specifically requires EasyPower as certified for use on standard desktop systems connected to the Air Force Global Information Grid. The document mandates comprehensive electrical calculations including load analysis, short circuit analysis, protective device coordination studies, arc flash analysis, voltage drop, motor starting analysis, lighting design, underground structure design, cable pulling tension, and directional boring calculations. Contractors must provide electronic software files with submittals and ensure calculations can be independently reviewed, with hand calculations typically limited to minor system modifications.

UFC 3-501-01
October 6, 2015
Change 2, 15 December 2023 accompanied by explanations to allow adequate independent review of calculation methods and results.
3-2.2.1 Electrical Analysis Software.
Most electrical-related calculations for significant projects will be completed with software tools; hand calculations are typically only acceptable for minor modifications to an existing system. For power systems analyses, coordinate with the base to determine if specific software tools are required for the analyses. Whenever software tools are used to perform analyses, provide the electronic software files with each submittal.
Before using any software tools, identify any base- or service-specific limitations regarding which software packages can be used.
Note: The Navy Network is only able to utilize SKM software modules and EasyPower for electrical analysis. If project calculations are done using any other software, they must also be provided in either SKM or EasyPower so that they are usable by Navy personnel on the Navy Network.
Note: For the Air Force, only EasyPower is certified in accordance with AFI 33-210 for use on standard desktop systems connected to the Air Force Global Information Grid and placed on the Air Force Evaluated/Approved Products List. Other software products can be used on standard desktop systems connected to the Air Force Global Information Grid after they have been certified in accordance with AFI 33-210 and placed on the Air Force Evaluated/Approved Products List.
3-2.2.2 Electrical Calculation Summary.
Provide calculations that include a complete analysis with supporting data. Address system arrangement; voltage selection; and major equipment selections including load analysis and equipment sizing calculations. Whenever sizing electrical equipment, such as transformers, breakers, or electric cables, provide calculations to demonstrate proper facility design. Provide the following calculations unless the Basis of Design clearly explains why a particular calculation type is not applicable:
a. Load analysis.
b. Short circuit analysis, including protective device interrupting rating.
c. Protective device time-current coordination study.
d. Arc flash analysis.
e. Voltage drop.
f. Motor starting/flicker analysis.
g. Lighting.
h. Underground structure design.
i. Cable pulling tension.
j. Directional Boring
