Inserting LV Switchgear
You can insert an LV switchgear in the one-line with multiple circuit breakers and feeders at one time using a wizard. This wizard facilitates the quick creation of switchgears.
In the Equipment Palette, select 
LV Switchgear. The pointer changes to a switchgear symbol. Click on the one-line to place the switchgear. The Insert LV Switchgear dialog box appears. This enables you to specify the type of bus, protective devices, feeders, and loads and the number of feeders.
Note: Although the LV switchgear is inserted through a single Equipment Palette button, after the items are inserted in the one-line, you can edit them as separate entities (buses, breakers and lines).
