Work continues on Wire size and OCPD Calculator

First a comment about the weather. Today it is thawing at about 45 degrees F. All winter we have had only 8 inches of snow. We have been able to drive the car down our 800 foot road all winter without having to plow. Other than the cold snap during the last week of January when it went to -51F this winter has been very mild indeed. Today, I read that the east coast is bracing for 12 inches of snow. Alaska has a reputation as being a cold and difficult place to live. That is not entirely true, but many Alaskans like to make it that way to keep the population down. We only have 600,000 people or about one square mile per person. The months of April, May, June, and July are absolutely beautiful and for the most part Alaska is undeveloped with thousands of acres of wilderness with no fences.
Now about the computer program. It is coming along, a struggle but coming along. As I said before in 1999 I spent six hard weeks writing an Excel Spreadsheet to perform this function. Believe me when I say that a computer program that selects the wire size and OCPD based on the continuous and non continuous loads, 6 tables and numerous other variables is one very complex program. I read somewhere that it is a simple five step process. That is not exactly correct.
