With this function, you can manage distribution boards and feeders in your project. You can also perform electrotechnical calculations by entering the required information.

This function collects all distribution boards and feeders of the project. In the Distribution boards list on the left, distribution boards and their relationships are shown. On the right, the groups in the selected distribution board are shown.

In the Groups grid, the icon in the first column indicates the status of that group. If there is a problem, hover on the row to see more details.

Show/hide additional information about selecting and organizing the columns

You can select the columns shown in the grid by right-clicking the column header row and selecting Select columns.

Then select the columns you want to show or hide. You cannot hide the Distribution board column.

The last column in the grid is the group order. This order affects, for example, in which order groups will be added to the Distribution Board.

You can change the order of the groups by selecting a group and moving it up or down with the arrow buttons.

	Move to the beginning
	Move up
	Move down
	Move to the end

After defining the order of the groups, save it by clicking the button. When saved, every group receives an individual order number.

Electrotechnical calculations – Select this if you want the program to perform electrotechnical calculations (wiring lengths, short circuit current, voltage drop). Columns related to calculations are only shown if this option has been selected.
