What FDRANA Does and Why It Matters
FDRANA is Chief Consultant Pakistan's own feeder analysis and network builder software, widely used across Pakistan's DISCOs for load flow analysis, voltage drop calculations, and power loss studies on 11kV and medium voltage distribution feeders. This web based generator is the bridge that connects your raw feeder data to FDRANA's desktop analysis engine.
Rather than manually drawing single line diagrams and manually formatting analysis files, this tool reads your existing network data, automatically produces a professional Manhattan style single line diagram, and generates the exact .DBF and .MEM database files FDRANA needs to run its analysis. What used to take hours of manual drafting and file preparation now takes minutes, whether you are preparing a design book for a new housing society or validating an existing feeder before a solar net metering approval.
This tool is built for independent consultants preparing electrification design books, DISCO planning engineers reviewing submissions, and property developers who need compliant technical documentation before construction can begin.
Manhattan SLD Generation
Upload your network data and instantly generate professional Manhattan style Single Line Diagrams. Our engine automatically organizes nodes orthogonally for maximum readability, so complex feeders remain easy to follow.
Flexible Output Formats
Whether you need a massive A0 plot for the entire feeder or continuous A4 pages for design books, our tool handles the scaling and pagination automatically, so the output is ready for submission or printing without extra formatting.
FDRANA Integration
Directly generate .DBF and .MEM files compatible with FDRANA software. Simply place them in your C drive ELR folder to perform instant load flow, voltage drop, and power loss analysis.
Technical Data Requirements
To ensure accurate load flow analysis and diagram generation, simply upload your .MDB (Microsoft Access) or .XLSX (Excel) file containing the required headers below. Each field maps directly to a property FDRANA needs to model your feeder correctly, so getting these columns right the first time avoids re-uploads.
| Required Header | Description |
|---|---|
| FROMNODE | Source node ID for the line segment |
| TONODE | Destination node ID for the line segment |
| KMTRS | Length of the segment in kilometers |
| CODE | Conductor type used on that segment |
| PROP_CODE | Proposed conductor or equipment code, if applicable |
| NODEKVA | Transformer capacity at the node, in kVA |
The system supports analysis for plaza electrification, housing society electrification, and electrification design books compliant with WAPDA and DISCO standards.
How to Perform Analysis
- Upload Data: Submit your network file via the secure interface above.
- Download Assets: Get your SLD (PDF or PNG) and the raw analysis files (.DBF and .MEM).
- Local Analysis: Rename the downloaded database files according to your project data.
- Run FDRANA: Place the files in your C:\\ELR\\ folder and execute FDRANA to perform voltage drop, power loss, and load flow calculations.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which Pakistan DISCOs are supported by this SLD generator?
Our tool is optimized for standards used by GEPCO, IESCO, LESCO, and FESCO, ensuring your electrification design books meet regional compliance.
Can I generate results for housing societies?
Yes, the tool is specifically designed for housing society electrification and plaza electrification projects, providing both visual diagrams and technical analysis files.
Do I need FDRANA desktop software installed to use the output files?
Yes. This web tool generates the .DBF and .MEM files, but running the actual load flow and voltage drop calculations happens inside the FDRANA desktop application on your own computer, using the files this tool produces.
How do I get access credentials?
Access is restricted to authorized independent consultants. Please contact Chief Consultant Pakistan for login credentials and pricing packages based on your network usage.
