Add a distribution board

Before wiring and creating groups you need to create a distribution board. You can then add sub-devices, such as busbars and protective devices, for the distribution board.

Do the following:

  1. Select Layout tab > Cabinets and feeders group > Cabinet.

    You can also create a distribution board via the Electrical window by selecting Distribution boards and feeders, right-clicking the drawing file and selecting New distribution board.

    The Distribution board properties  dialog opens.

  2. In the Electrical position field, enter RK101 as the distribution board ID.

  3. Enter size information.

  4. If you want to calculate short-circuits, for example, define the feeder.

  5. Select the Symbols tab and select the 2D and 3D symbols for the distribution board with Select.

  6. Stop editing the distribution board properties by clicking OK.

  7. Insert the distribution board symbol via the Electrical window: select Distribution boards and feeders, right-click the distribution board RK101 and select Insert this distribution board in the drawing.

  8. If necessary, rotate the symbol with F8.

  9. Indicate symbol insertion point.

  10. Accept the angle by right-clicking.
