      Free electrical diagram editor, also used for plumbing, hydraulics,
      pneumatics, automotive wiring and photovoltaic schematics.

      QElectroTech (QET) is a free and open source CAD/CAE application to
      create complex industrial and domestic electrical diagrams. While
      originally focused on electrical engineering, it is also widely used
      for plumbing, geothermal, air-conditioning, layout, hydraulics,
      pneumatics, home automation, automotive wiring, process diagrams
      (P&ID), photovoltaic installations and many other technical domains.


      The software ships with a community-maintained library of over 9000
      standardized symbols. It runs identically on Windows, macOS, Linux
      and BSD, and files created on one platform can be opened on another
      without conversion.


      QET has been developed since 2007 and community-maintained since
      2013. It is notably used as a free alternative to commercial
      software such as EPLAN or SEE Electrical, by hobbyists, teachers,
      students, professional electricians and companies worldwide.
