## Description

This MCP server provides specialized engineering tools for designing electrical distribution networks in mining operations. It allows AI agents to calculate critical parameters such as transformer capacity using `calculate_transformer_capacity`, select appropriate conductors with `size_distribution_cables`, and configure safety devices via `determine_protection_settings`. The toolset also includes `analyze_system_efficiency` to evaluate how power factor and demand factor impact total apparent power requirements, ensuring designs meet industrial electrical standards.

## Tools

### analyze_system_efficiency
Evaluates the impact of the power factor and demand factor on the overall system sizing

### calculate_transformer_capacity
Determines the required rating for a transformer based on the total connected load and operational factors

### determine_protection_settings
Calculates the threshold settings for protective devices to prevent equipment damage

### size_distribution_cables
Selects appropriate cable specifications to ensure voltage stability across the distribution distance
