Create a Space Heater - Intergraph Smart Electrical - Help - Hexagon

This procedure explains how to add space heaters to an electrical equipment item. You can create space heaters under the following item types:

• Motors

  When creating a motor, you can choose to create it with or without a space heater. The procedure below deals with adding space heaters to a motor that was created without a space heater.

• Capacitors

• Harmonic filters

• Heaters

• All converting equipment (apart from transformer components)

• Generators

• Power distribution boards

• Cells (for plant items only as there are no reference cells)

• Cabinets

• Local panels

• Junction boxes
  

1. In the Electrical Index, expand the Electrical Equipment folder hierarchy and then the relevant item type folder.

2. Right-click an existing electrical equipment item and then select New Space Heater.

3. Accept the default item tag that is based on the naming convention for space heaters or type your own item tag according to the naming convention. See Using Naming Conventions.

4. On the Static Load Common Properties dialog, edit the space heater properties as required. See Static Load Common Properties Dialog Box.

• On the Preferences dialog, General tab, under Open a dialog after creating or duplicating an item, you can specify whether to open the Item Tag dialog when you create a new plant item.

• The Static Load Common Properties dialog shows the most commonly used properties. You access this dialog by selecting the Common Properties command on the shortcut menu for the required item. Alternatively, you can specify in the preferences to open the Common Properties dialog directly when you create a new plant item.

• You can also edit the most commonly used properties and additional properties in the Properties window or in the EDE.

• After adding a space heater to an electrical equipment item, the space heater appears as a child-item of that electrical equipment item.

• The Electrical Index displays a special indicator next to the icon of each electrical equipment item to which a space heater was added. For example, adding a space heater to a motor changes the motor icon to .

• If you delete an electrical equipment item which has a space heater the software also deletes the heater.
