Setting Default Equipment Values

To save time when inserting new items, you can set default values for the equipment.

While in the Database Edit focus, click Tools > Equipment, select the phase family for AC equipment or select DC equipment, and then select the desired equipment. In the equipment data dialog box, enter the values you want as default data. You can later edit the data of specific equipment if it needs to be different from the default settings by double-clicking on the equipment in the one-line and making changes in the equipment's data dialog box.

The number 1 is shown next to the Equipment button. The number 2 is next to 3-Phase Equipment. The number 3 is next to the list of equipment.

Note: You can set the default values separately for three-phase, single-phase, and DC equipment.
