Supply Details - Detail Tab

In the Detail tab, enter additional details of the supply such as its design status and consumed power figures.

If a schematic drawing is required to be generated for the supply in Electrical Designer, check the Schematic Dwg Req’d checkbox. If the supply is a transformer note that the Consumed Power fields are not present.

The External Cable Sizing Template field is used to assign an External Cable Sizing template to a supply. Refer to Allocate Cable Sizing Templates to Equipment for further information.

Note:
This field is not displayed for MCCs, switchboards and distribution boards. For these types of supply, external cable sizing templates are assigned to incomers instead. See Details Tab (Loads Assigned Tab - MCCs and Switchboards) for details.

The tab includes facilities for creating wiring for the supply (if the supply is also a load, i.e. fed from another supply) using a selected wiring rule. Refer to Create Wiring for Supplies for further information.

Additional Detail Tab features for Distribution Boards

• For distribution boards, a Has Neutral checkbox is included on the tab. Check this checkbox if the distribution board is to include neutral terminations.

  Neutral terminations may then be added for the distribution board when using the Distribution Board Viewer (refer to Supply Details - Loads Assigned Tab - Distribution Boards) to add circuits.

  Note:
  Once checked, the checkbox may not be unchecked while there are any protection devices assigned to a distribution board. All circuits must first be deleted.

• For distribution boards, options for selecting the circuit identification method are available: Circuit Number / Phase Id (the default setting) or just Circuit Number.

• If any circuit breakers have been assigned, the method cannot be changed. The following message is displayed if this is attempted:

  

  Refer to Add Circuits to Distribution Boards for the procedure for adding and removing circuit breakers.

• If the Circuit Number method is selected, the Number of circuits field is then displayed:

  

  Enter or select the required number of circuits (an even number). The minimum number is 6, the maximum is 120.

• If an odd number is entered, the number will automatically reset to the default setting of 30. If a number below 6 is entered, the number will automatically change to 6. If a number above 120 is entered, the number will automatically change to 120.

• If the number of circuits is reduced using the above option, and this would result in a circuit number that has already been assigned being removed, the following message will be displayed when the window is saved:

  

Detail Tab Sub-Tabs

The lower part of the tab consists of two or three sub-tabs, depending on the supply type.

• The General tab is used to enter general project related data.

• The Datasheet tab is used to enter order information and to assign the supply to a datasheet or to view and/or edit a datasheet if one is already assigned.

  

  Refer to Assign, View and Edit Datasheets for further information.

• Loads fed by the supply must have a voltage matching one of the supply output voltages listed on the Output Voltages tab. The default output voltages are displayed below.

  

  Note:
  MCCs, Switchboards, Distribution Boards and Transformers do not have this tab. For these supplies, output voltages are defined separately for each busbar or winding on their Loads Assigned tabs.

  Output voltages can be added and removed from this list as required. Refer to Output Voltages Tab (Loads Assigned Tab - MCCs and Switchboards) for further information.
