Wireways

To create a wireway, go to

DM ElectricalOne Line DevicesWireways

A Wireway dialog box will appear. To actually create a new wireway, press the New button at the bottom of the dialog box. Another Wireway dialog box will appear after Design Master asks you to enter the callout for the new wireway you are creating.

Listed below are all the different fields and inputs found in the dialog box above. These fields all help to define the wireway in some way and are divided into three main categories. The first portion focuses on the definition of the transformer itself, followed by the fault analysis information, and then the specifications of the transformer feeder wires.

General Wireway Definition

Field	Sets
Volts	The voltage and number of poles for the wireway.
Mounting	Mounting type for the wireway.
Number of Taps	The number of taps available on the wireway.
Plan View Block	There is only one option available when creating the plan view block, and that is Custom Rectangle. You must define the dimensions for each wireway individually.
Custom Dimension	Input for defining customized wireway block sizes.
Layer System	Indicates what layering system the wireway block will be drawn on.
Schedule Block	Where you can select the one line schedule graphic to associate with the panel. Design Master comes equipped with a schedule block specifically designed for wireway.
Location	Where you can select the wireway schedule graphic to associate with the transformer .
Note 1	Creates a note in the upper left hand corner of the wireway schedule. The note may also be inserted with the wireway on the one line diagram.
Note 2	Creates a note immediately below the wireway schedule. The note may also be inserted with the wireway on the one line diagram.

Fault Analysis

Field	Sets
Feeder Length (ft)	Length of the conductor from the device feeding the wireway. Can be automatically calculated by Design Master, or input manually.
Fault @ Tap (amps)	The fault current at the tap . Can be automatically calculated by Design Master, or input manually.
Device Tap AIC Rating	This is where you set the AIC Rating for the wireway. This is set manually. There is also a field to enter a custom AIC Rating below this one.

Feeder Specification

Field	Sets
Fed From	Displays where the wireway is fed from. This is set in the One Line Device Connections box.
Description in Upstream Device	How this panel appears in the schedule of the device feeding it. Defaults to Wireway Callout, but may be customized.
Upstream OCP	Size of upstream breaker or fuse in the device feeding the wireway.
Conductor Amps	Select automatic sizing for the conductors, or use this field to select a specific conductor size.
Neutral	Choose to size the neutral wire at 100% or 200% of the phase conductors, select a specific conductor, or have no neutral at all.
Ground	Choose to automatically size the ground per the NEC as a service or equipment ground, or select a specific size.
IG Conductor	Toggle on or off an Isolated Ground conductor.
Conduit Size	Choose to size the conduit automatically, or select a specific conduit size.
Feeder Size	This field displays the conduit and feeder sizes for the wireway, based on the settings above.

The New, Copy, Save, Delete, Rename, and Find buttons work as they do for panels.
