In-Depth Information
The Power - Balanced and the Power - Unbalanced system options for a
connector contain more properties that are specific to the system behavior.
These properties define the electrical characteristics of the device, which
then determine the distribution system that the device is using within your
projects.
Because you cannot change the properties of a connector when working in a
project without editing the family in which it resides, it is best to associate
the connector parameters to parameters defined in the device family. This
allows you to control the electrical characteristics of the device through the
Properties palette. A connector parameter can be associated with a family
parameter by clicking the small button at the far right of each of these
parameters.Thisopensadialogboxthatletsyouselectthefamilyparameter
with which to associate the connector parameter. Only family parameters of
the same type will appear in the list.
Figure 21.15
shows how the Apparent
Load parameter of a connector is associated with a family parameter. Notice
that only one parameter is available in the list, because it is the only family
parameter that is an Apparent Power type.
