yeah it is steep, but there's also E-lite if you wanna try that. I'm not sure of the website. It's like SKM light. It does the job though.

Steve, you may want to evaluate VOLTS from Dolphins Software. You can obtain a free download from their web site.
VOLTS is a full featured program allowing for the automatic development of one line riser diagrams.
I am experienced user of VOLTS and recently completed the electrical design of two ball fields, complete with panel schedules, load summary reports, voltage drop analysis, conductor and raceway sizing and a one line riser diagram in less than 12 minutes.

Volts, that's a new program to me. I have to try that.
Sparkie:
I meant to say Easypower instead of Powerworld. I always get the two mixed up. Powerworld is more for utility companies.
ACvolts:
$4000 for the enterprise edition of Volts isn't cheaper than SKM. But like Sparkie said, it all depends on what you want to do. Volts does have lower priced options. But those won't do the arc flash and breaker coordination stuff SKW can do.

We have an use SKM, ETAP, and EDSA. All are powerful tools, and client dependent. By default we use ETAP if the client doesn't have preference, but we also do only power generation projects. It seems SKM is more widely used with Institutional, education, and commercial projects. EDSa is predominantly utility. Easypower has received some recognition, but not sure what it can do.
