Cable Sizing Standard Selection

The required cable sizing standard sizing is set from the Options window in the Electrical Engineer module, accessed by selecting Project > Options on the Project Tab of that module.

The following options relating to cable sizing are also set using this window:

• If sizing of zero length cables is to be enabled, check the Allow Zero Length Cable Sizing checkbox. In the Default Length field enter the default length that will be used when sizing cables for which a length has not been entered.

• If the short circuit calculation is to use the calculated cable temperature by default, click Use Calculated Cable Temperature. If the short circuit calculation is to use the conductor temperature by default, click Use Conductor Temperature.

• Select the default voltage for new equipment in the Default Voltage list.

• Select the default power units to be used when specifying motors (kW or hp) from the Motor Power Units list.
