New Type

A manufacturer may have several classes of a particular device within the same equipment name. These are referred to as a Type in the EasyPower Device Library. To add a new type of a device for a manufacturer, do one of the following:

  • Right-click on the manufacturer and then click Insert New Type.

New Style

In EasyPower, a style is essentially the model of a device. The method of inserting new styles varies for different equipment.

For Solid State Trips, Non-Solid State Trips, and Motor Overload Relays, select the type name first. Then click Insert. Alternatively, you can right-click on the device type and click Insert New Style.

Spreadsheets

For most equipment, you enter style names in the leftmost column of the spreadsheet that appears when you select the type name. In any spreadsheet, the style names must be unique. If the cell for the style name is left blank, then no style data will be stored in the library. Styles are entered in a spreadsheet for the following devices:

  • HV Breaker
  • Switches
  • HV Fuses
  • LV Fuses
  • ICCB Breakers
  • MCCB Breakers
  • PCB Breakers

Field Edit Dialog Box

Some action buttons open up a dialog box for editing the field entries.

This occurs in:

  • Models and Sizes for HV Fuses (on the TCC tab)
  • Curves for Relays (on the TOC Delay tab)

You can add, delete, rename, move up, move down, or select any item. All items within the field must be unique.
