This procedure shows how to delete a power distribution board or any PDB internal item. The topic also states the deletion preconditions and lists the other items that the software deletes with the selected item.

  1. In the Electrical Index, expand the folder hierarchy Electrical Equipment > Power Distribution Equipment > Power Distribution Boards.

  2. Select a PDB or one of its internal items.

  3. Select Edit > Delete. You can also delete a PDB or any PDB internal item by right-clicking an item and selecting Delete on the shortcut menu.

  • You can delete only items that do not have associations to other items. For example, you cannot delete a power distribution board associated with loads unless you first dissociate the loads.

  • If you select more than one item for deletion, the software records any deletion failures in the Batch Deletion log file. See Generate Error Log Files.
