This procedure shows you how to create a single-core cable assembly in the Electrical Index using a predefined reference cable assembly.
-
In the Electrical Index expand Wiring Equipment > Cables > Single-Core Cable Assemblies.
-
Right-click on the Single-Core Cable Assemblies folder and then select New Single-Core Cable Assembly on the shortcut menu.
-
Open the common properties of the new single-core cable assembly by right-clicking and selecting Common Properties.
-
On the Single-Core Cable Assembly Common Properties dialog, select Select Predefined Cable Assembly.
-
On the Find dialog, select Find Now.
-
In the Results pane select the reference single-core cable assembly required.
-
Select OK, the reference single-core cable assembly values are added to the Common Properties.
-
Select OK.
-
After selecting OK on the Common Properties dialog, the software automatically displays an expanded view of the cable assembly and adds the assembly's cables to their relevant folders in the Electrical Index.
-
When connecting the power connectors (S, T, R) of a single-core cable assembly to an electrical equipment item, the software automatically completes the connection of the power connectors after the first connection has been made to that item. For example, after connecting the S cable to a motor the software automatically connects the remaining two power cables (T and R) to the motor. The grounding and neutral cables are not connected automatically and are connected by the user.
-
Changing the tag sequence of one of the cables in an assembly affects the tag sequence of all of the other cables in that assembly.
-
Making any other change (for example, changing the sizing, routing, and so forth) in the properties of one of the cables in an assembly that is connected to bus phases affects only those cables in the assembly that are connected to the phases of the cable assembly.
-
Changing the properties of a grounding or neutral cable in an assembly affects only that particular cable.
