13 Apr 2026 by Arnada Engineering

A new version of Kestrel EMT and KPlot has been published here. See the changes below or visit the Kestrel EMT page for more information.

Kestrel EMT

Added Comment block, for annotating schematics.
Added Transformer circuit component which supports entry of typical transformer test parameters including short circuit impedance and excitation current.
Breaking Change the previous “Transformer” component has been renamed to “Ideal Transformer”
Improved handling of opening corrupted circuit files (.kcf files)
Fixed bug where re-configuring a component (e.g. changing the number of phases in a resistor) would not propagate the monitored quantities correctly (e.g. current or voltage)
Fixed bug where monitoring probes placed on individual phases of a three phase node would sometimes fail

KPlot

Added support for plotting CSV files. CSV files should be comma delimted, only contain numerical data, and the column that represents the x axis should be called “time”
Added support for plotting PSCAD .inf/.out files. When using the tool, load the .inf file (not the .out file(s)).
