Enables you to size cables in batch mode.
-
The software does not size a cable for which it cannot find a reference cable with the specified cable specification that matches the value of the minimum conductor cross-section for parallel cables defined in Options Manager. You should either change the value in Options Manager or create a new reference cable with the appropriate cross-section in the Reference Data Explorer.
-
The software filters out from the Cable-Sizing Matrix all the reference cables whose insulation voltage rating is smaller than the rated voltage of the current cable. Also, the software does not allow a situation where the insulation voltage rating is smaller than the rated voltage of a given cable. This situation is prevented when:
-
Sizing a single cable or several cables in batch mode.
-
Refreshing load data in batch mode or by clicking the Refresh Data button on the Sizing Data tab.
-
Replacing the associated reference cable of one or more plant cables.
-
Manually modifying cable data on the Common Properties dialog box or the Properties window.
-
