Temperature Rise Calculation Software (TRCS) – Tutorial
Th is tutorial will help you become familiar with the TRCS Temperature Rise Calculation
Software. It will lead you through a sample project.
Please consider this document as complementary information to the Help fi le and the
User Manual, where you will fi nd detailed information about particular topics.
It is strongly recommended to work through the MCS Star Tutorial fi rst. By completing the
MCS Star tutorial, you will generate a small, versatile busbar assembly project with various
starters types and loadfeeders.
MCS Star provides an “Export” function which generates a kind of “reduced” Bill of Material,
containing only components which will contribute to the temperature rise in the panel,
including their operating current. Th
e component’s power loss data for a wide range of
Rockwell Automation products are provided in a database within TRCS.
For more information about the temperature rise calculation model consult the Help fi le,
User Manual and the standard IEC 60890.
We will use the data exported from MCS Star in this Tutorial.
