The Bottom Line
Establish settings for circuits and wiring
Proper setup of a
project's electrical characteristics is an important part of the workflow
when you're creating circuits and wiring. Settings can be stored in your
project template and modified on an as-needed basis.
Master It
The distribution systems defined in a project make it
possible to connect devices and equipment of like voltages. Do you
need to have voltage definitions in order to create distribution
systems? Why or why not?
Create circuits and wiring for devices and fixtures
Circuits are
the systems for electrical design. Wiring can be used to show the
connection of devices and fixtures in a schematic fashion.
MasterIt
Circuits can be created for devices or equipment even if
they are not assigned to a panel. Circuits can then be represented by
wiring shown on construction documents. Give two examples of how
you can add a device to a circuit that has already been created.
Manage circuits and panels
With the relationship between
components and panels established, you can manage the properties of
circuits and panels to improve your design performance and efficiency.
Master It
While checking the circuits on a panel, you notice that
there are only 14 circuits connected, but the panel has 42 poles. How
can you reduce the amount of unused space in the panel?
