This dialog displays the common properties of a single-core cable assembly.
Assembly tag
Displays the name of the selected single-core cable assembly. Select the ellipsis
button 
to open a dialog where you can edit the name.
Cable arrangement
Allows you to select an appropriate cable arrangement of the single-core cable assembly.
Phase arrangement
For new assemblies, allows you to select an appropriate phase arrangement of the single-core cable assembly: For existing assemblies, the phase arrangement value is view-only and it changes according to additions or deletions of grounding and neutral cables in the assembly.
All phase arrangements for single-core cable assembly must contain at least one neutral
cable.
1 PH
A single-phase cable assembly that contains one current carrying core cable. You can use this cable assembly for connections with AC single-phase circuits (2-wire circuits).
1 PH +G
A single-phase cable assembly that contains one current carrying core cable and at least one grounding. You can use this cable assembly for connections with AC single-phase circuits (3-wire circuits).
3 PH
A three-phase cable assembly that contains three current carrying core cables for AC circuits.
3 PH + G
A three-phase cable assembly that contains three current carrying core cables for AC circuits and at least one grounding cable.
3 PH + N
A three-phase cable assembly that contains three current carrying core cables for AC circuits and at least one neutral cable.
3 PH + N +G
A three-phase cable assembly that contains three current carrying core cables for AC circuits and at least one grounding and one neutral cable.
DC
A cable assembly that contains two identical current carrying core cables for DC circuits. Note that the Supply property of the current carrying core cables (the power cables) is automatically set to DC and it cannot be changed.
For existing assemblies, the phase formation is not editable. However, when adding
and/or deleting grounding and neutral cables, the software automatically changes the
phase arrangement according to your action. See Change the Formation of a Single-Core Cable Assembly.
Description
Displays the user defined description of the single-core cable assembly. Select the
ellipsis button to open a dialog where you can type longer text for the description.
Width
Allows you to select a width of the single-core cable assembly.
Height
Allows you to select a height of the single-core cable assembly.
Area
Displays the area occupied by the single-core cable assembly. Automatically calculated from properties entered in the Width and Height fields.
Select Predefined Cable Assembly
Opens the Find dialog, which allows you to search for a predefined reference single-core cable assembly that will serve a basis for a new plant single-core cable assembly.
Current carrying cores
Reference cable
Allows you to select a reference cable from the Reference Data Explorer window. Select the ellipsis button to open the Select Reference Cable dialog and select the required reference cable. This list becomes enabled after you
select an appropriate phase arrangement.
Cable specification
Displays the reference cable Cable Specification Number. This is automatically inserted when selecting the reference cable and cannot be edited.
Cable formation
Displays the reference cable's Cable Formation. This is automatically inserted when selecting the reference cable and cannot be edited.
Phase label 1
Allows you to select a suffix for the first phase connector.
Phase label 2
Allows you to select a suffix for the second phase connector. The software only allows the selection of a label that is not being used by a connector within the assembly.
Phase label 3
Allows you to select a suffix for the third phase connector. The software only allows the selection of a label that is not being used by another connector within the assembly.
Neutral cables
Allows you to select the neutral cable of the single-core cable assembly (only available if a neutral cable has been included as part of the phase arrangement.
Select Add to open the Select Reference Cable dialog to add the required cables. Select Remove to remove cables that are not required.
Item tag
Displays the cable name.
Category
Displays the cable category.
Specification
Displays the cable specifications
Formation
Displays the cable formation.
Grounding cables
Allows you to select the grounding cable of the single-core cable assembly (only available if a grounding cable has been included as part of the phase arrangement.
Select Add to open the Select Reference Cable dialog to add the required cables. Select Remove to remove cables that are not required.
Item tag
Displays the cable name.

Formation
Displays the cable formation.
You can select Add or Delete if you want to add or delete a cable from the current assembly. You cannot delete
a neutral or grounding cable if it is required by the phase arrangement that you selected
for the current single-core cable assembly.
