GElectrical is a free and opensource electrical system analysis software for LV/MV electrical distribution networks. Following features are currently implemented. * Schematic capture. * Pandapower network generation from schematic. * Power flow time series analysis (Symmetric and Assymetric). * Power flow with diversity factors (Symmetric and Assymetric). * Voltage drop analysis. * Short circuit analysis (Symmetric and SLG). * Coordination analysis for power supply protection devices with support for CB and fuse protection curves; damage curves for transformers, cables and motors. * Support for daily load curves for load elements. * Support for arriving network parameters for custom geometry OH lines. * Support for modeling networks with mixed TN-S/ TN-C/ TT/ IT earthing systems. * Electrical rules check for checking conformity with IEC/ local electrical guidelines. * Print and export of drawings to pdf. * Generation of analysis reports. GElectrical uses pandapower as the backend for implementing power flow related functionality like voltage drop and short circuit analysis. ### Package name * gelectrical --- ### License * GPL-3.0+ --- ### Last updated * 28 July 2024 - latest/stable * 18 December 2025 - latest/edge --- ### Websites * [manuvarkey.github.io](https://manuvarkey.github.io/GElectrical "https://manuvarkey.github.io/GElectrical") --- ### Contact * [manuvarkey@gmail.com](mailto:manuvarkey@gmail.com "mailto:manuvarkey@gmail.com") --- ##### Report a Snap Store violation * [Report this Snap](https://snapcraft.io/install/gelectrical/opensuse#report-snap-modal) --- ## Enable snaps on openSUSE and install GElectrical Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully. Snaps are discoverable and installable from the [Snap Store](https://snapcraft.io/store), an app store with an audience of millions. ### Enable snapd Snap can be installed from the command line on openSUSE Leap 15.x and Tumbleweed. You need first add the *snappy* repository from the terminal. Choose the appropriate command depending on your installed openSUSE flavor. Tumbleweed: ``` sudo zypper addrepo --refresh https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/system:/snappy/openSUSE_Tumbleweed snappy ``` Leap 15.x: ``` sudo zypper addrepo --refresh https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/system:/snappy/openSUSE_Leap_15.6 snappy ``` If needed, Swap out `openSUSE_Leap_15.` for, `openSUSE_Leap_16.0` if you’re using a different version of openSUSE. With the repository added, import its GPG key: ``` sudo zypper --gpg-auto-import-keys refresh ``` Finally, upgrade the package cache to include the new *snappy* repository: ``` sudo zypper dup --from snappy ``` Snap can now be installed with the following: ``` sudo zypper install snapd ``` You then need to either reboot, logout/login or `source /etc/profile` to have /snap/bin added to PATH. Additionally, enable and start both the *snapd* and the *snapd.apparmor* services with the following commands: ``` sudo systemctl enable --now snapd sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.apparmor ``` ### Install GElectrical To install GElectrical, simply use the following command: ``` sudo snap install gelectrical ``` ### Other popular snaps… [See more...](https://snapcraft.io/search?categories=featured) [See more in Featured](https://snapcraft.io/search?categories=featured) ### More things to do… #### [Get the snap store](https://snapcraft.io/snap-store) Browse and find snaps from the convenience of your desktop using the snap store snap. #### [Learn more about snaps](https://snapcraft.io/docs) Interested to find out more about snaps?
