Calculate Cable Sizes

To size cables using an external template:

1. Initiate cable sizing in the normal way for either a single or multiple loads, i.e. select the associated load or loads and click Size Selected Cable in the Calculations section of the List Tools - Loads tab.

   Note:
   Make sure that the equipment in question has been allocated an external cable sizing template before doing so. If this has not been done, an error message is described when cable sizing is attempted.

   Note:
   The maximum number of cables that may be connected to an equipment item may (optionally) be specified in Electrical Wiring Manager. If the sizing procedure attempts to connect a cable to an equipment item when the maximum number of cables has already been connected to that item, a message is displayed to inform the user of this.

2. If a single load was selected the Cable Sizing window is displayed. If multiple loads were selected the Multiple Cable Sizing window is displayed. Refer to Calculate Single Cable Size and Calculate Multiple Cable Sizes for details of these windows.

3. At the bottom of both windows is an External Cable Sizing checkbox:

   

   Check this checkbox, then proceed as described in Single Load Procedure or Multiple Loads Procedure as appropriate.
