Customizing the Design Template for Series Coordination

The design templates are stored in the library. While choosing breakers in your design for series coordination, you may need to list multiple breakers as possible choices. To add breakers to the design sheets, follow the steps below.

  1. Click File > Open Library. Select the library name and click Open.
  2. In the library, click Design > US > [desired design sheet], and then select the Protective Equipment tab.
  3. For bus equipment type (switchgear, panelboard, and so on) and the Amp Rating, click the Add Breaker button.
  4. The Add Breaker to Design Sheet spreadsheet opens, which contains the list of circuit breakers and the solid state trip units that could be used in a design for the amp rating (and below) to be housed in a bus type. The program evaluates each breaker starting from the top row to verify if the breaker coordinates with the downstream breakers. The first breaker that is found to selectively coordinate with the downstream breakers will be selected in the one-line.
  5. You can insert new rows or delete existing rows. Right-click on the left-most gray column with the 1, 2, 3,… numbers, and then select the desired command from the context menu.
  6. Since the evaluation takes place starting from the top row, you can sort the rows in the order of preference. You can use Move Up or Move Down to arrange the rows.
  7. Tip: If you need to sort a large number of breakers based on specific criteria, you can use Microsoft Excel. You can copy and paste data between Excel and this spreadsheet.

  8. When you are satisfied with your changes, click Close.
