Cables
All of the cable models that Power Line Systems has are listed on this site. If you do not find the cable you are looking for then you can contact your wire manufacturer and ask them for a cable file or properties to create your own as described in section 9.2 of the PLS-CADD manual.
Visiting
Traveling to Madison. Madison is served most directly by the Dane County Regional Airport (MSN) which is 25 minutes drive from our office. You may also fly in via General Mitchell (MKE) in Milwaukee which is approximately 90 minutes travel time from Madison or through Chicago O''Hare (ORD) which is approximately 3 hours travel time. In all cases, we recommend you
TOWER — Power Line Systems
Interoperability. While TOWER is a stand-alone program it''s open design allows it to easily interface with other programs. TOWER provides a well defined XML output file and hooks that enable pre and post-processors to be connected to the program making it the ideal engine of your custom lattice tower analysis process.
User List

PLS-CADD — Power Line Systems
Power Line Systems - Computer Aided Design and Drafting. PLS-CADD is the most powerful overhead power line design program on the market. PLS-CADD runs under Microsoft Windows and features an easy to use graphical user interface. It integrates all aspects of line design into a single stand-alone program with a simple, logical, consistent interface.
Windows — Power Line Systems
Starting with the release of version 13.33, Power Line Systems has completed implementing support for Windows 10. Support for Windows 11 came automatically, without changes to the software. All functionality works as you would expect so long as you only use version 13.33 or newer. We do not support mixing pre-13.33 versions with 13.33 and newer.

SAGSEC — Power Line Systems
SAGSEC allows engineers to perform the previously difficult analysis of strain bus configurations in substations. In short spans, the insulators, particularly porcelain and glass types, can cause unanticipated sags and over-tensioning of conductors, which could be detrimental to the physical design of the span, taps, and associated structures if not properly accounted for.
