SKM IEEE Certification 2024

March 26, 2024

The SKM Power*Tools, GroundMat, and Cable-3D software has been developed in a formal manner by Registered Professional Engineers and includes extensive testing. Where possible, the results have been compared to benchmark calculations, and other known programs. Where appropriate, the programs follow processes and methods described in ANSI, IEC, and other recognized industry standards. In particular, the PTW Version 8.0.3.4 or above software complies with the recommended practices described in:
