Performing Auto Design

Prerequisites for Auto Design

Before you can perform auto design, you need to create a basic one line. The following items are required or recommended:

Sizing Equipment on One-line

To size any equipment:

  1. Select the equipment on the one-line. The selected equipment turns green.
  2. From the Home tab, click Auto Design.
  3. View the Auto Design report by clicking Window on the Home tab and then selecting Auto Design Report. Read the comments to verify the item was sized successfully. The report informs you if there were issues such as insufficient data. See Prerequisites for Auto Design for guidelines.

You can also view the new size of the equipment through equipment data dialog by double-clicking on the item.

Sizing Individual Circuits in MCC and Panel Data

To size individual circuits in MCC or Panel Data:

  1. In the Description tab of the Panel Data dialog box, in the View list, select Detailed – Both Sides.
  2. In the Description tab of the MCC Data or Panel Data dialog box, right-click on the row for which you wish to size the cable and protective device.
  3. From the context menu, select Auto-size Prot Device and Cable. A message similar to the one shown below is displayed.

Lock Auto-Sizing

For equipment that can be auto-sized, you can also disable auto-sizing by selecting the check box Lock Auto-Sizing in the equipment data dialog. This is recommended to avoid accidental auto-sizing. You can manually change the equipment data even if the check box is selected.
