Compartment Element Types

In AVEVA Electrical, MCC and Switchboard compartments are populated with compartment elements such as protection devices, relays, motors etc. AVEVA Electrical is supplied by default with a number of compartment element types, but users may define additional types as required.

Compartment element types are placed in groups for ease of selection when defining the content of compartments and typical compartments.

Compartment element groups and types are defined using the Compartment Element Groups window.

To access the Compartment Element Groups window select Setup > Compartment Element Types from the Project tab.

The window lists the existing compartment element groups. Click on the + symbol next to a group name to view the types within a group. For example:

If the User Defined checkbox for a group or type is checked, this means that the group or type may be edited or deleted by the user. If it is unchecked this means it is required by AVEVA Electrical (for example, for the ETAP interface) and may not be edited or deleted. The setting of this checkbox cannot be changed by the user.

• Use the New button to create new groups and types. Refer to Create Element Groups and Create Element Types.

• Use the Edit button to edit groups and types. Refer to Edit Element Groups and Edit Element Types.

• Use the Delete button to delete groups and types. Refer to Delete Element Groups and Types.

• Use the Import From Other Project button to copy element types into the current project from another AVEVA Electrical project. Refer to Import Element Types from another Project.
